Description
Pauline Black's autobiography is a unique blend of personal narrative and musical history. Born to Anglo-Jewish/Nigerian parents, she was adopted by a white family in Romford before finding her place in the world through music. As the front woman of influential ska band The Selecter, Black shares her story of self-discovery and creative expression. This memoir offers an insider's look at the band's history and Black's own experiences as a black British woman navigating different cultural identities. Through her writing, Black sheds light on themes such as adoption, family, and identity, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in music, biography, or social science.
