'Elegant and disturbing. A brilliant analysis of the cruel
biopolitics of care in contemporary Britain' - Ash Amin Of the many
state-enacted cruelties to which refugees and asylum seekers are
subjected, detention and deportation loom largest in popular
consciousness. But there is a third practice, perpetrating a slower
violence, that remains hidden: dispersal. Jonathan Darling provides
the first detailed account of how dispersal - the system of
accommodation and support for asylum seekers and refugees in
Britain - both sustains and produces patterns of violence,
suffering and social abjection. He explores the evolution of
dispersal as a privatised process, from the first outsourced asylum
accommodation contracts in 2012 to the renewed wave of outsourcing
pursued by the Home Office today. Drawing on six years of research
into Britain's dispersal system, and foregrounding the voices and
experiences of refugees and asylum seekers, Darling argues that
dispersal has played a central role in the erasure of asylum from
public concern. Systems of Suffering is a vital tool in the arsenal
of those fighting to hold the government to account for the
violence of its asylum policy and practice.
