For all the West's failings - terrible food cold weather and questionable politicians with
funny hair to name a few - it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet
Union he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong having lived
in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he
moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society receiving
countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise. Funny provocative and unswervingly
perceptive An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of
self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring
race politics free speech immigration and more Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need
not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today and that despite all its ups and
downs it remains one of the best places to live in the world. After all if an immigrant can't
publicly profess their appreciation for this country who can?
