From Trump's proposed border wall and travel ban to the marching of White Supremacists in Charlottesville, America is consumed by tensions over immigration and the question of which bodies are welcome. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling UK edition, hailed by Zadie Smith as "lively and vital," editors Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman hand the microphone to an incredible range of writers whose humanity and right to be here is under attack. Chigozie Obioma unpacks an Igbo proverb that helped him navigate his journey to America from Nigeria. Jenny Zhang analyzes cultural appropriation in 90s fashion, recalling her own pain and confusion as a teenager trying to fit in. Fatimah Asghar describes the flood of memory and emotion triggered by an encounter with an Uber driver from Kashmir. Alexander Chee writes of a visit to Korea that changed his relationship to his heritage. These writers, and the many others in this singular collection, share powerful personal stories of living between cultures and languages while struggling to figure out who they are and where they belong. By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, troubling and uplifting, the essays in The Good Immigrant come together to create a provocative, conversation-sparking, multivocal portrait of America now. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Shukla, Nikesh, $e editor. 700 1 $a Suleyman, ChimeÌne, $e editor. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Khakpour, Porochista. $t How to write Iranian-America, or The last essay. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Dennis-Benn, Nicole. $t Swimmer. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Haile, Rahawa. $t Sidra (in 12 movements) 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Cole, Teju. $t On the blackness of the panther. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Minhas, Priya. $t How not to be. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a OyeÌjideÌ, WaleÌ. $t After migration. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Asghar, Fatimah. $t On loneliness. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Rao, Tejal. $t Chooey-booey and Brown. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Higgins, Maeve. $t Luck of the Irish. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Mallikarjuna, Krutika. $t Her name was India. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a St. Germain, Jim. $t Shithole nation. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Zhang, Jenny. $t Blond girls in Cheongsams. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Obioma, Chigozie, $d 1986- $t Naked man. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Chee, Alexander. $t Your father's country. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Demange, Yann. $t Long answer. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Edelstein, Jean Hannah. $t American, told. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Suleyman, ChimeÌne. $t On being Kim Kardashian. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Usmani, Basim. $t Tour diary. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Older, Daniel JoseÌ. $t Dispatches from the language wars. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Villar Rojas, AdriaÌn, $d 1980- $t Juana Azurduy versus Christopher Columbus. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Villar Rojas, SebastiaÌn, $d 1981- $t Juana Azurduy versus Christopher Columbus. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a FernaÌndez, Dani. $t No es suficiente. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Mirza, Fatima Farheen, $d 1991- $t Skittles. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a RamiÌrez de Arellano, Susanne. $t Return to Macondo. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Chalabi, Mona. $t 244 Million. 700 12 $i Container of (work) : $a Chang, Jade, $d 1975- $t How to center your own story. 941 $a 19 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013742.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409032806.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020150.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015449.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015122.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015923.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053052.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023125.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728011004.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210622010108.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204024244.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806012301.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214013116.0 952 $l VPPC384 $d 20190716012717.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190524010307.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190514013617.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190309010139.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190302010633.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190221010142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=602B512A35A611E983801B6197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
