First published in 2016, The Good Immigrant has since been hailed as a modern classic and credited with reshaping the discussion about race in contemporary Britain. It brings together a stellar cast of the country's most exciting voices to reflect on why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay and what it means to be 'other' in a place 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.

This 5th anniversary edition, featuring a new preface by editor Nikesh Shukla, shows that the pieces collected here are as poignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking and important as ever.

Nikesh Shukla is an author and screenwriter. He is author of The One Who Wrote Destiny, Meatspace and the Costa First Novel Award-shortlisted Coconut Unlimited. He has also written two YA novels: Run, Riot was shortlisted for a National Book Award and The Boxer was longlisted for the Carnegie Medal. He is the co-founder of literary journal The Good Journal and the Good Literary Agency. His most recent book, Brown Baby: A Memoir of Race, Family and Home, was published by Bluebird in 2021.
