White working class areas are often seen as entrenched and
immobile, threatened by the arrival of 'outsiders'. This major new
study of class and place since 1930 challenges accepted wisdom,
demonstrating how emigration as well as shorter distance moves out
of such areas can be as suffused with emotion as moving into them.
Both influence people's sense of belonging to the place they live
in. Using oral histories from residents of three social housing
estates in Norwich, England, the book also tells stories of the
appropriation of and resistance to state discourses of community;
and of ambivalent, complex and shifting class relations and
identities. Material poverty has been a constant in the area, but
not for all residents, and being defined as 'poor' is an identity
that some actively resist.
