The book's 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 results. As a matter of urgency, the book argues, we need to understand what is at stake in such policies and to resist the world we are making when we detain and expel. \u003cem\u003eWriting Against Expulsion\u003c\/em\u003e returns to a post-war period when the brutal consequences of the politics of expulsion were visible and when it was clear to writers of all kinds that space for the human had to be made. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on contemporary histories of forced displacement, eye witness accounts, international legal documents, and on a range of emblematic cross-disciplinary texts and authors--the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt, the poetry of Charles Olson, the revolutionary theory of Frantz Fanon--the book shows how mid-century writers both documented the lived experience of expulsion and asserted ways of thinking and acting by which expulsion could be prevented. What emerged were new languages of rights and recognition--new accounts of Moving, Making and Speaking--through which the exclusions of nation and border could be countered.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Herd, Professor of Literature and Human Rights, University of St Andrews \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Herd is the author of numerous books of poetry and prose, including \u003cem\u003eAll Just\u003c\/em\u003e, described by the Los Angeles Review of Books as 'one of the few truly necessary works of poetry written on either side of the Atlantic in the past decade', and \u003cem\u003eWalk Song\u003c\/em\u003e, a Book of the Year in the Australian Book Review.
