Standing in the Shadows
John Head

A first-of-its-kind exploration of black men and depression from an award-winning journalist.

The first book to reveal the depths of black men's buried mental and emotional pain, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS weaves the author's story of his twenty-five-year struggle with depression with a cultural analysis of how the illness is perceived in the black community—and why nobody wants to talk about it. In mainstream society depression and mental illness are still somewhat taboo subjects; in the black community they are topics that are almost completely shrouded in secrecy. As a result, millions of black men are suffering in silence or getting treatment only in the most extreme circumstances—in emergency rooms, homeless shelters, and prisons. The neglect of emotional disorders among men in the black community is nothing less than racial suicide. John Head's explosive work, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS, addresses what can be done to help those who need it most.
