Deportees’ multi-ethnic solidarity is an anti-racist resource of hope.

Evidence

More than this, it underlines the specifically politico-ethical and humanistic implications of conviviality in anti-immigrant times, which become especially intense when approached from the perspective of deported ‘Black Britons’. Just as Gilroy’s writing on conviviality forms part of his wider critique of all forms of race thinking, so might the multi-ethnic associations of deported people form part of their wider anti-raceism. Even if this everyday wisdom is partial, contingent and temporary, it is precisely what is necessary if we are to find alternative resources of hope in the struggle against the most dangerous forms of ‘camp-making’ which have become so constitutive of contemporary statecraft. — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 72
