Description
A powerful and thought-provoking memoir, Maybe I Don't Belong Here is a deeply personal account of racism, identity, and recovery. David Harewood shares his journey from working-class Birmingham to the bright lights of Hollywood, uncovering devastating family history and shedding light on the impact of everyday racism on Black mental health. The book is a testament to Harewood's courageous journey towards healing and self-discovery, following a psychotic breakdown and a sectioning under the Mental Health Act. Thirty years later, he has been able to process what he went through, and in doing so, has created a groundbreaking account of the systems and biases that shape our society. Through his story, Harewood raises important questions about belonging, identity, and the search for a sense of place in the world. This is a book that will resonate with anyone who has experienced racism, and a powerful call to action for those seeking to understand and challenge the biases that surround us.
