The book argues that asylum seekers, far from being mere victims of their experiences in Direct Provision are active agents of change and resistance, and theorizes the Asylum Archive project as an archive of silenced lives that brings into public view the hidden experiences of the asylum seekers living in the Direct Provision system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Asylum in Ireland, from disavowal to archive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsylum seekers and Direct Provision: Racialization, dispersal, deportability, NGOization \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisavowing Ireland’s history of enforced incarceration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect provision as “slow death”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho profits from Direct Provision?
