This profound collection of essays highlights, through the voices of 21 different writers, the unseen and unspoken stories of being a person of color in the UK.

As a British writer of Indian descent, Nikesh Shukla was tired of people of color repeatedly having to justify their well-earned place in society. It was this frustration that gave rise to The Good Immigrant.

In this anthology, Shukla, a novelist, author, and screenwriter brings together the stories of 21 people of color working in UK media.

The essays cover themes of misrepresentation, microaggression, rejection, alienation, anger, and humor — all part of the immigrant story.

Through raw and honest reports of their personal experiences of racism, the authors undermine common stereotypes while decentering the white narrative, which is too often treated as the default in the mainstream media.
