Twenty years after the Good Friday Agreement, although Northern Irish politics has avoided returning to the bloodshed of the Troubles, by every other metric it has objectively failed. The botched parliament at Stormont lumbers from crisis to crisis & has scarcely passed any laws. At the time of writing, Sinn Fein & the DUP are refusing to share power & Northern Ireland is facing being run directly from London. This remarkable book examines power-sharing & the peace process in Northern Ireland on the twentieth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement & asks what it has achieved beyond an end to violence. She concludes that, although it brought an end to violent blood shed on Northern Ireland`s streets, it also failed to create healthy & functional politics. The Good Friday Agreement served an important purpose in 1998, but has since been out-paced by local & global politics. It is no longer fit to facilitate the peaceful politics it made possible, as the current collapse of power-sharing sadly shows. ...

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`? How does it feel to have words from your native language misused, misappropriated & used aggressively towards you? How does it feel to hear a child of colour say in a classroom that stories can only be about white people? How does it feel to go `home` to India when your home is really London? What is it like to feel you always have to be an ambassador for your race? How does it feel to always tick ` Other`? Bringing together 21 exciting black, Asian & minority ethnic voices emerging in Britain today, The Good Immigrant explores why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay & what it means to be `other` in a country that doesn`t seem to want you, doesn`t truly accept you
- however many generations you`ve been here
- but still needs you for its diversity monitoring forms. 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 & become good immigrants, editor Nikesh Shukla has compiled a collection of essays that are poignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking, polemic, weary &
- most importantly
- real.
