The Good Immigrant (2016) is a powerful collection of personal essays that reflect on the complexities and nuances of race and identity in twenty-first century Britain, and the University of Leicester has been proud to gift the text to students through our Read At Leicester initiative.

We are excited to announce that Nikesh Shukla, Darren Chetty, Salena Godden and Wei Ming Kam, will join us for an honest and lively discussion about their writing and some the themes presented in The Good Immigrant.
