Longlisted for the 2019 Jhalak Prize.
From the 1960s the UK's immigration policy - introduced by both Labour and Tory governments - has been a toxic combination of racism and xenophobia. Maya Goodfellow tracks this history through to the present day, looking at both legislation and rhetoric, to show that distinct forms of racism and dehumanisation have produced a confused and draconian immigration system.
She examines the arguments made against immigration in order to dismantle and challenge them. Through interviews with people trying to navigate the system, legal experts, politicians and campaigners, Goodfellow shows the devastating human costs of anti-immigration politics and argues for an alternative.
This new edition includes an additional chapter, which explores the impacts of the 2019 election and the ongoing immigration enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic.
Maya Goodfellow is a writer, researcher and academic. She has written for the New York Times , Guardian , the New Statesman , Al Jazeera , the Independent , Labour List and Media Diversified . She recently completed a PhD at SOAS, University of London.
