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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe new edition includes an additional chapter, which explores the impacts of the 2019 election and the ongoing immigration enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eLonglisted for the 2019 Jhalak Prize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maya Goodfellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788739604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788739603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Maya Goodfellow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983185871103,"sku":"9781788739603","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fe03cd7-f020-43e5-98ea-09fc7b651a2b.jpg?v=1683265158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hostile-environment-maya-goodfellow-9781788739603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
