The Good Immigrant: 26 Writers Reflect on America by Nikesh Shukla, Chimene Suleyman
4.0

A great collection of essays detailing the personal stories of immigrants and their families in the US today. There is humour, heartbreak and hope weaved through most of these stories.

My favourite essays in this book include:
-On the Blackness of the Panther by Teju Cole
-How Not to Be by Priya Minhas
-Chooey-Booey and Brown by Tejal Rao
-Dispatches from the Language Wars by Daniel Jose Older
-Juana Azurdy vs Christopher Columbus by Adrián Villar Rojas and Sebastián Villar Rojas
-Skittles by Fatima Farheen Mirza
-The Long Answer by Yann Demange
