@newbeaconbooks with Book of the month 2 of 3 The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla How does it feel to be constantly regarded as a potential threat, strip-searched at every airport? Or be told that, as an actress, the part you're most fitted to play is 'wife of a terrorist'? Inspired by discussion around why society appears to deem people of colour as bad immigrants - job stealers, benefit scroungers, undeserving refugees - until, by winning Olympic races or baking good cakes, or being conscientious doctors, they cross over and become good immigrants, editor Nikesh Shukla has compiled a collection of essays that are poignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking, polemic, weary and - most importantly - real. Don’t forget to check out our African & Caribbean inspired Christmas Craft Market - THIS SAT 11am - 6pm 📚 Available in store and on our website NOW! 📚 Open Tues - Sat: 11am to 6pm Thursday: 11am -8pm 📚 Please encourage your friends and family to like and follow us on Facebook, Twitter  and instagram @newbeaconbooks 📚 New Beacon Books - Continuing 50 years of history........ 📚 #newbeaconbooks #childrensbooks #Continuing50yearsofhistory #BlackActivist #JohnLaRose #Trinidad #AfricanBooks #CaribbeanBooks #bookshop #BlackBooks #PanAfrica #BlackHistory  #AfricanPeople  #SupportBlackBusinesses #Culture #StolenFromAfrica #MoreThanSlaves #caribbeanhistory #Africanhistory #Political #GeorgePadmoreInstitute #GeorgePadmore #50years #london #uksfirstblackbookshop #InStoreNow
