The question of how immigrant groups become political and how the politics of developing countries are brought to life on the streets of Western cities is now critical. With the onset of major international crises, the influx of foreign nationals and the existence of multiple forms of political being, cities play a pivotal role in producing the conditions of possibility for new types of political action. Using ethnographic work with the Sudanese political opposition in relation to the Darfur crisis, this research looks at the emergence of new kinds of political identities amongst refugee populations in the west of London. I argue that insurgent politics are acting to reconfigure the Sudanese political field and that new identities based on tribal or rebel subjectivities are now coming to the fore. These new subjectivities are creating insurgent microspaces for political action on city streets and reconfiguring the nature of political space.
