Poverty Safari

Why read it

• You will see how growing up in a deprived community keeps most emotion in check, through mockery or the threat of violence
• You will question whether society is as cruel and beyond control as a writer who grew up poor once believed
• You will weigh a working class writer's warning that the left too readily treats its own resentment as legitimate

Who it is for

• Readers who grew up poor and want it told straight
• Youth workers, teachers and social workers in poor communities
• Anyone tired of slogans from left and right about poverty
