The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla
How does it feel to be constantly regarded as a potential threat, strip-searched at every airport? Or be told that, as an actress, the part you're most fitted to play is 'wife of a terrorist'? How does it feel to have words from your native language misused, misappropriated and used aggressively towards you?- ‘We should recognise the courage that has been shown in producing these essays. . Helps to open up a much-needed space of unflinching dialogue about race and racism in the UK’ Sandeep Parmar, Guardian
- ‘If I could, I’d push a copy of this through the letter box of every front door in Britain’ Independent
