Maybe I don’t belong here
Actor David Harewood in conversation with mental health workers Simon Arday and Kojo Bonsu. In this special event co-produced with members of the RCN's Mental Health Forum Ethnic Minority Sub-group, actor David Harewood spoke to us about his new book Maybe I don't belong here: A Memoir of Race, Identity, Breakdown and Recovery (Pan Macmillan, 2021). David was in conversation with Simon Arday (Registered Mental Health Nurse, Mental Health Network Manager & the RCN's Expert Representative for Parity of Esteem) and Kojo Bonsu (Peer Involvement Worker), exploring what it means to be a person of colour navigating the mental health system. Drawing on expertise from Black health care professionals and those with lived experience, the event explored what needs to be done to impact change in the system. Our panel also took questions from activists, students and network members working in this area. This event was chaired by Catherine Gamble RCN Fellow and Associate Director of Nursing Education South West London and St Georges MH NHS Trust. 'As a Black British man I believe it is vital that I tell this story. It may be just one account from the perspective of a person of colour who has experienced this system, but it may be enough to potentially change an opinion or, more importantly, stop someone else from spinning completely out of control.' – David Harewood

The books below are all significant, but very varied in approach and date. From C.L.R James’ brilliant 1938 book ‘the Black Jacobins’, to the 2019 gal-dem publication ‘I shall not be erased’.
Each book should be read with an understanding of the author, intended audience and the context it is situated in. Try to read a little about the book before you dive in. Because they vary so much in style and approach you may not like or regard them all, but each is significant and worth reading with an open mind.
If you want an accessible place to start, try Ijeoma Oluo’s book ‘so you want to talk about race’ or some of the more recent texts like Akala’s ‘Natives’.
If you want to deepen your understanding move on to the recent classics on to the work of bell hooks, Angela Davis, Stuart Hall, Walter Rodney or Peter Fryer.
After this, try out a more theoretical text like Kenhinde Andrew’s ‘Back to Black’ or Charles Mill’s ‘the Racial Contract’.
Committed readers should revisit the original work of Malcolm X. Marcus Garvey or explore the lesser known work of Dr. Martin Luther King in the book ‘Radical King’
Books such as C.L.R James”the Black Jacobins’ or Chancellor Williams ‘Destruction of Black Civilizaion are fantastic books for those who are committed to understanding, but they are not really entry level texts.
