'If I could, I'd push a copy if this through the letterbox of every front door in Britain' INDEPENDENTFearless, challenging, playful, moving and always real, this groundbreaking essay collection sees 21 leading writers of colour explore the realities of the immigrant experience in Britain. What it means to grow up and live in a country and still be made to feel like an outsider, no matter how long it's been your home. When it was first published, The Good Immigrant lit a fire: telling the truth, starting conversations and irrevocably changing how we talk about race. But the work is far from done, and its wisdom is needed now more than ever. Here are 21 of our most vital voices, urging you to listen, care - and resist.
