Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How does it feel to be constantly regarded as a potential threat, strip-searched at every airport? Or to be told that, as an actress, the part youre 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? How does it feel to hear a child of colour say in a classroom that stories can only be about white people? How does it feel to go home to India when your home is really London? What is it like to feel you always have to be an ambassador for your race? How does it feel to always tick Other? Bringing together 21 exciting black, Asian and minority ethnic voices emerging in Britain today, The Good Immigrant explores why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay and what it means to be other in a country that doesnt seem to want you, doesnt truly accept youhowever many generations youve been herebut still needs you for its diversity monitoring forms. Inspired by discussion around why society appears to deem people of colour as bad immigrantsjob stealers, benefit scroungers, undeserving refugeesuntil, by winning Olympic races, or baking good cakes, or being conscientious doctors, they cross over and become good immigrants, editor Nikesh Shukla has compiled a collection of essays that are poignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking, polemic, weary andmost importantlyreal. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR007681114
