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. Through personal stories and political context, it contrasts the ferry's luxury with the harsh realities faced by individuals fleeing oppressive regimes, particularly under a newly hardened asylum policy. The discussion critiques the government's anti-immigrant stance and its implications for the future of asylum seekers' rights and democracy in the country.
