A Sense of Belonging by Grace Patricia Pinnock
A Sense of Belonging is a novel of shocking narrative of finding a place to belong. This non fiction gives a personal account of a British born woman of Jamaican descent who migrated from England to her parents' homeland, Jamaica.
At its core, this non fiction novel gives some insight into why one British born Jamaican identifies with the island of Jamaica and found it to be a place which she can truly call home.
This refreshing book questions whether the British born person is of Jamaican heritage or other West Indian descent? Or whether she will ever be truly accepted as Black AND British in the UK.
She tells of her 'Jamaican' childhood in England, her discontent with the subtle forms of racism in the British education system, the search for her identity, her wrestles with the decision to move from England to Jamaica with its traditions and culture that she was raised to honour and respect.
