It is hard to comprehend the scale of such displacement. A number equivalent to the combined populations of the UK and Belgium forced out of their homes by systems and structures beyond their control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the very beginning of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pmpress.org.uk\/asylum\"><em>Asylum for Sale<\/em><\/a>, it is clear that this is a text of resistance. The book sets out to dissect a vastly expanding global industry whose profit is generated by the creation, displacement, prevention, detention, processing, trafficking, imprisonment and deportation of people seeking asylum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection of essays makes for a moving and sobering read. <em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> manages to simultaneously encapsulate the brutality of the current system and yet still implores us to imagine an alternative future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if, for instance, the Dutch government had secured a home for 14-year old Syrian teenager Ali Ghezawi and his family? Would he still have committed suicide? What if the British government had allowed Ugandan Mercy Beguma to work while applying for asylum? Would she still have been found dead alongside her crying, malnourished, one-year old son? What if more than 20,000 European citizens, and still counting, had drowned in the Mediterranean between 2014 and 2020? Would we be more likely to demand change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An extensive journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> takes the reader on an extensive journey across the violent border regimes of the United States, Australia and the European Union. Each of the book\u2019s sections dutifully focuses on a different aspect of the commodification of asylum, providing shocking and unique insights. Throughout it all, the obvious double injustice at the heart of <em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> is that the countries and regions that now pursue punitive border regimes initially prospered from the colonial and imperial extraction of the places from which people are now forced to flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the start, the book reveals the horrendous conditions human beings must endure while seeking asylum. These vary from the more grotesque, refugee organ trafficking to the more routine instances of capitalist exploitation, such as asylum-seekers being forced to work in slave-like conditions in sweatshops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center rp-full-width rp-quote has-grey-color has-pale-1-background-color has-text-color has-background has-antonio-font-family\" style=\"padding-top:2%;padding-right:2%;padding-bottom:2%;padding-left:2%;font-size:clamp(1.743rem, 1.743rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 1.571), 3rem);\">The double injustice is that the countries now pursuing punitive border regimes initially prospered from colonial extraction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second section, \u2018Waiting games\u2019, goes on to bleakly examine the reality of privately-run migrant detention centres around the world. \u2018Detained voices\u2019 platforms accounts of labour exploitation of those detained, while other authors focus on those employed in the industry. An unnerving observation is made that most employees in the 300 or so detention facilities across Europe are descendants of migrants or are holding temporary residence permits themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading about the experiences of those detained and those hired to detain successively is an unsettling confirmation of one of the central arguments in Aim\u00e9 Cesaire\u2019s revolutionary anti-colonial polemic <em>Discourse on Colonialism<\/em>. The process of committing colonial violence \u2018decivilises\u2019 the \u2018civilised\u2019 coloniser, pulling them deeper and deeper into the void of barbarism and despair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each page of <em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> burns brightly with evidence of the barbaric, inhumane crimes committed against refugees and migrants by supposedly exemplary nation states that claim to respect human rights. It goes without saying that the asylum industrial complex is corrosive and corrupting from top to bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout its pages <em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> continues to investigate those who profit from preventing people from seeking asylum: arms companies contracted to militarise land and sea borders, law firms selling \u2018freedom\u2019 and the corporate giants often hired by the UK and Irish governments to run asylum accommodation centres where conditions regularly violate fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the contributors relentlessly drive forward the book\u2019s narrative, moving the reader between countries and continents, borders and boats, airports and detention centres, guarded backseats of charter planes and in the hands of human traffickers or alienated bureaucrats. The reader is constantly plummeted into the emotional, psychological, physical and financial demands of a seemingly never-ending refugee journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editors Adrienne Pine and Red Pepper\u2019s Siobh\u00e1n McGuirk effectively illustrate how widespread the migration\/asylum industry is. There isn\u2019t a corner on this planet where someone isn\u2019t risking their life to reach safety, often cruelly rendered \u2018illegal\u2019 in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testimony as resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Asylum for Sale<\/em>\u2019s strongest moments are when lived accounts are laid bare in front of the reader. In the first section of the book, \u2018Crossings\u2019, Nigerian artist Uyi recounts his punishing journey from Nigeria to mainland Europe. Uyi\u2019s testimony is accompanied by personal illustrations of his harrowing experience travelling across the Sahara in jeeps that don\u2019t stop even if someone falls off and crossing the most dangerous route in the world for migrants, the Mediterranean, in an overcrowded, unstable boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The images of Uyi\u2019s hands holding drawings of their gruelling journey are as visceral as they are matter of fact. They unhinge our privilege as readers \u2013 European, white, \u2018western\u2019 \u2013 into the cold, harsh light of self-awareness and recognition. The hand-drawn images of personal experience captured by the clinical eye of the camera fulfil the role of political art: call out complicity, provoke empathy and encourage critical thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another impressive contribution of artistic activism is \u2018A guard\u2019s story\u2019, the first-hand account of a Serco employee inside an Australian immigration detention facility. This chapter stands out vividly by conveying a detention centre worker\u2019s perspective in a testimonial comic-book style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The account details the internal moral conflict of the worker and the alienating, detrimental effect such a job has on one\u2019s psychological wellbeing and wider social and family environments. The tasteful, profound and beautifully crafted images, all of which are inspired by extensive interviews with the ex-employee, are burning proof that together art and activism can, do and should play a crucial combative role in the fight against structural and institutional violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center rp-full-width rp-quote has-grey-color has-pale-1-background-color has-text-color has-background has-antonio-font-family\" style=\"padding-top:2%;padding-right:2%;padding-bottom:2%;padding-left:2%;font-size:clamp(1.743rem, 1.743rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 1.571), 3rem);\"> Together art and activism play a crucial combative role in the fight against structural and institutional violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The poetics of prison protest\u2019, by Iranian-Kurdish Behrouz Boochani and Omid Tofighian, is a further inspiring account of protest and resistance. Boochani was imprisoned for six years in an Australian detention centre on Manus island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excerpt \u2018Tweeting as protest\u2019 particularly stands out \u2013 a series of screenshotted tweets exposing abuses happening in the detention centre posted by Boochani whilst incarcerated. The chain of screenshots is a direct civil society action, evidence presented to the reader that the only effective way of igniting social change is to tirelessly and courageously expose the crimes of the ruling capitalist class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributions such as the above elevate <em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> from a fascinating scholarly volume to a militant tool of action and resistance. Presenting first-hand survivor accounts of profit-driven violence is protest. Ensuring people read these lived experiences is resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Asylum for Sale<\/em> stands out in the large canon of asylum and migration literature because it does not lose track of humanity, unlike many academic volumes. It successfully encapsulates the expansive geography and economic and political complexities of an industry that makes money from illegalising and commodifying human beings. The last sentence of the volume shatters all structural and systematic attempts to dehumanise refugees.&nbsp;\u2018Rejected\u2019 Afghan refugee Farshid\u2019s dream is to live freely, like us: \u2018He hopes to be a singer one day.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">This article first appeared in Issue #230&nbsp;<em>Struggles for Truth<\/em>. <a href=\"http:\/\/subscriptions.redpepper.org.uk\/\">Subscribe<\/a> today to support independent socialist media and get your copy hot off the press!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The edited volume from Siobh\u00e1n McGuirk and Adrienne Pine is a powerful indictment of the modern migration complex, writes Nico Vaccari<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":42157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[103,356,1863],"tags":[2813],"class_list":["post-29279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-capitalism","category-migration","tag-nico-vaccari"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
