In the Introduction, I argued that, while hostility and austerity are dealt with in separate chapters of the book for analytical clarity, they are not mutually exclusive, especially if we widen each beyond their restricted associations with the racist ‘hostile environment’ and a specific economic policy, respectively. In the chapters, I have concentrated on how hostility impacted those it was aimed at, as did austerity affect its targets. Hostility, however, as in the ‘hostile environment’, is also austere; and austerity is itself inherently hostile. The two are interrelated. While this has been demonstrated throughout sometimes implicitly, in the first half of the Conclusion I provide some explicit and clear-cut examples of ways in which the hostile environment inevitably led to austerity and of how austerity hit at those at whom the hostile environment was aimed. With respect to the former, I analyse the hostile environment's impact on the Windrush generation, and at two examples of the dire conditions in detention centres. As far as austerity affecting those targeted with the hostile environment is concerned, I focus on the Grenfell Tower fire and at the upsurge in racism, witnessed by increased inequality and hate crime, specifically on the link between major cuts in welfare payments and this rapid rise. This is, as I argue, exacerbated by the constraints on antiracist and community organizing, also the results of austerity. This again reinforces the reality of the interconnection between hostility and austerity. In the second half of the Conclusion, I explore what might be done immediately to make the UK less austere and hostile for the working class in general and for minority ethnic communities and other racialized people.
