Joan Riley


Born
in St. Mary, Jamaica
May 26, 1958


Joan Riley (born 26 May 1958) is a Jamaican-English author. Her 1985 novel The Unbelonging made her "the first Afro-Caribbean woman author to write about the experiences of Blacks in England".

She was born in St. Mary, Jamaica, the youngest of eight children, and received her early education on that island before emigrating to the United Kingdom in 1976. There she studied social work at the University of Sussex and the University of London. She has worked at a drugs advisory agency and wrote about the experiences of Caribbean women.
