missbookiverse's review against another edition
4.0
I enjoyed this diverse (in ethnicity, voice, religion, and tone) collection of essays on what it's like to be considered an immigrant (even when the person was born in Britain) in the UK. As can be expected with 21 different authors, some spoke more loudly to me than others, but all of them taught me more about what it must be like to be constantly seen as other. The sheer amount of prejudice and ridiculous assumptions some people have to face on a regular basis is depressing and I think these essays managed to sharpen my own awareness of racial issues and injustice. My favorite pieces were the ones by Varaidzo, Salena Godden, and Miss L, probably because they were so personal.
