Overview

Toooften we are told about 'deprived neighbourhoods' but rarely do the people wholive in those communities get to shape the agenda and describe, from theirperspective, what is important to them. Using history, artistic practice,writing, poetry, autobiography and collaborative ethnography, this bookliterally and figuratively re-imagines one UK town, Rotherham.
