Getting By, Paperback

Descriere

St Anne's in Nottingham is notorious as the place where the city's gangs, guns, drugs and dysfunctional families reside. In this sense it is typical of many such estates around Britain, which have become the object of public concern and media scorn. This book, written by a long-term resident, weaves past and present in a rare insight into life on a council estate, offering an important account of contemporary Britain, the complexities of living in poor neighbourhoods and calling for understanding and social justice.
