Description
Brutally honest and fearless, Poverty Safari is an unforgettable insight into modern Britain, and will change how you think about poverty. The Sunday Times Top Ten bestsellerWinner of the Orwell Prize. Named the most 'Rebellious Read of the 21st Century' in a Scottish Book Trust pollDarren McGarvey, award-winning author and presenter of BBC series The State We're In has experienced poverty and its devastating effects first-hand.
He knows why people from deprived communities all around Britain feel angry . . . So he invites you to come on a safari of sorts. But not the kind where the wildlife is surveyed from a safe distance.
This book takes you inside the experience of poverty to show how the pressures really feel and how hard their legacy is to overcome. Arguing that both the political left and right misunderstand poverty as it is actually lived, McGarvey sets out what everybody – including himself – could do to change things. 'Another cry of anger from a working class that feels the pain of a rotten, failing system.
Its value lies in the strength it will add to the movement for change.' - Ken Loach, director of Kes
