Summary

When you hear about one of the biggest scandals in modern home office history, it piques your interest. The Windrush Scandal is an example of the mentality of a bygone era in operation at the top levels of the UK government. Citizens of the British Commonwealth were invited to stay in the UK indefinitely between the end of the 1940s and the start of the 1970s in an attempt to bolster the UK labor market. Many people took up the invitation, upending their lives in an attempt to create a better life in their mother country. Those individuals and their children have gone on to become an integral part of the UK society we know today. They have contributed art, political discourse, and academic literature, and work in the many industries of the UK over a period spanning multiple decades. When someone that has contributed their life in this manner toward making the UK a better place, it’s a slap in the face when they’re kicked out of the UK in their old age because of immigrant removal targets. This after having established families and having earned comfortable pension years. In this audiobook you’ll be able to see exactly who this Windrush Generation is that has gone through these trials and tribulations. You’ll understand their history, their identity, and their current prospects.

Captivating and educational

Having little to no knowledge on the subject of the Windrush Generation, I was excited to listen to the audiobook and learn about the matter. I was extremely impressed with the structure of this audiobook, it provided a huge amount of information but in a digestible manner that I didn’t find overwhelming as somebody new to the subject. Moreover, it kept me interested throughout the entire duration. Highly recommend listening!

Glad to finally have a better understanding of this

Nice and up to date, always a part of history I was keen to learn more about and happy that it includes the windrush scandal which was something I remember going on so recently, yet felt like I still needed to learn more about
