The Good Immigrant is “a document of what it means to be a person of colour” in Britain today. Shukla, who edited 21 essays by black, Asian and minority ethnic writers working across literature and the media, discusses with Ludovic Assémat the standards by which immigrants – first or second generation, refugees and asylum seekers – are either accepted into, or judged to be apart from, a dominant culture determined by whiteness.
