This is rooted in a new form of universal solidarity with those who have been produced as superfluous and consigned to holes of oblivion at sea, desert crossings, prisons and camps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBirmingham, Peg:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePeg Birmingham\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University.
