"Writing Against Expulsion in the Postwar World: Making Space for the Human addresses
the current drive towards a politics of expulsion by considering a moment when the
realities of expulsion were actively understood and contested. The contemporary starting
point is the rapidly escalating use of detention as a response to human movement and
the global production of geopolitical non-personhood in which detention and its proxies
results. To understand this emerging condition the book returns to a postwar discourse
in which geopolitical non-personhood was grasped as a new reality and countered across
a range of disciplines and settings. Building on Lefebvre's account of the production
of space, the book argues that in the period following the war expulsion was understood
as a new condition of geopolitical space. The production of such expulsive space was
visible in the legacy of the concentration camps, the suspensions of Displaced Persons
Camps, the exclusion zones of settler colonial regimes. Drawing on contemporary histories
of forced displacement, eye witness accounts, international legal documents, and a
range of emblematic cross-disciplinary texts and authors - the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, Hannah Arendt, Charles Olson, Frantz Fanon - the argument shows how
mid-century writers documented the lived experience of expulsion and asserted forms
of thinking and human relation by which expulsion would be prevented. The book details
the non-place of expulsion, the languages of recognition through which mid-century
writers initiated a response, and the relationalities of Moving, Making and Speaking
through which a space for the human can be made"
