具体描述
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? 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 doesn’t seem to want you, doesn’t truly accept you – however many generations you’ve been here – but still needs you for its diversity monitoring forms.
Inspired by discussion around why society appears to deem people of colour as bad immigrants – job stealers, benefit scroungers, undeserving refugees – until, 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 and – most importantly – real.

卫报网站看完了Riz Ahmed的那篇，写得真好啊... 等待英国同学帮忙代购中..
评分R4 Namaste by Nikesh Shukla, A guide to being black by Varaidzo, Flags by Coco Khan, The ungrateful country by Musa Okwonga. 越发迷惑了。总体中心思想总结：希望白人一视同仁，不要贴印度、巴基斯坦、黑人等标签；第一篇不好好说话简直神经病，最后一篇文笔真诚，最打动人
评分和一切政治一样，身份的政治囿于阵营的分野，大致了解过各阵营后，容易厌烦类似的探讨。而且身份政治是唯一不追求逻辑自洽的政治，个人主义与极端平均主义并存，这种精分常让我失去耐心。书最有趣的一点是英国视角，荧幕上的英国都是白人贵族，各种肤色混杂的英国才是现实。
