Getting By
Getting By: Estates, class and culture in austerity Britain | Mckenzie, Lisa
1 post
While the 1% rule, poor neighbourhoods have become the subject of public concern and media scorn, blamed for society's ills. This unique book redresses the balance. Lisa Mckenzie lived on the St Anns estate in Nottingham for more than 20 years. Her insider status enables us to hear the stories of its residents, often wary of outsiders. St Ann's has been stigmatised as a place where gangs, guns, drugs, single mothers and those unwilling or unable to make something of their lives reside. Yet in this same community we find strong, resourceful, ambitious people who are 'getting by', often with humour and despite facing brutal austerity.

@abbsinwonderland is a wonderful litten who not only is sending out holiday cards to anyone who wants one (check out her profile), but also she is also hosting the #abbsgiveawaywonderland 💜

What gets me through is my pup, my nephew, and my sister. They are my world and somehow make everything better. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. They all give me something different and precious.
