The 46 contributors to the US and UK versions of The Good Immigrant are writers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, fashion designers, scholars, educators, and activists. The US version, published in 2018, was listed as The Guardian’s “Must Read Book of 2019.” And last month, a Dutch version was also crowdfunded and released by Dipsaus, a multimedia organization amplifying the voices and lived experiences of Black and people of color in the Netherlands. The UK version, released by crowdfunding publisher Unbound in 2016, won the Readers Choice Award at the inaugural Books Are My Bag Readers Awards and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards. In this Episode #5, we’re discussing both the US and UK versions of The Good Immigrant, edited by Nikesh Shukla. And this is The Lift Up Podcast - inviting you to discover empowering reads by marginalized writers. V: Happy Wednesday! I’m Vina Orden, here with Tamara Crawford.
