CHAPTER

Asylum Aboard the MS Galaxy

This chapter explores life on the MS Galaxy, a repurposed cruise ferry housing 1,500 asylum seekers in the Netherlands.

The discussion critiques the government's anti-immigrant stance and its implications for the future of asylum seekers' rights and democracy in the country.
