Book & Writing Work :

Maya has been working for many years on her book. The book was published in November 2019, by Verso Books.
The book, entitled Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Become the Scapegoats, is dealing with Britain’s barrage of self-defined ‘hostile environment’ policies in the wake of the refugee crisis. The policies seem to imply that social and economic issues are the fault of immigration and the influx of refugees into Europe. Maya’s book analyses what led to this ongoing situation, historically and culturally.
Her research has involved conversations with migrants, politicians, policy writers and policy experts, and immigration lawyers. The work offers insight and analysis into rhetoric and politics going back to the 1960s.
