Review:

"The Good Immigrant is a lively and vital intervention into the British cultural conversation around race. Instead of statistics and dogma we find real human experience and impassioned argument - and it's funny and moving, too. A must read!" -- Zadie Smith "The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, always honest ... if I could, I'd push a copy of this through the letter box of every front door in Britain." * Independent * "Highly recommended ... It's precisely those who might at first think this book is not about us, who should read it" * Spectator * "Perceptive, touching and funny" * Observer * "An important, timely read." -- J. K. Rowling
