The Windrush scandal was just the tip of the iceberg. It was the result of a larger Home Office strategy to create a hostile environment for Britain’s immigrants. Writer and researcher Maya Goodfellow joins the Prospect podcast this week to discuss the UK’s current and historic immigration policies, and what she learned from talking to people who were caught in the system while writing her book, Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Became Scapegoats.

Hostile Environment is published by Verso Books.
