This work explores the lives and literacies of different
generations of people living in Spitalfields and The City at the
end of the 20th century. It contrasts these two square miles of
London, which outwardly symbolize the huge difference between
poverty and wealth existing in Britain at this time. The book
presents a study of living, learning and reading as it has taken
place in public settings, including the school classroom, clubs,
places of worship, theatres, and in the home. Over fifty people
recount their memories of learning to read in different contexts
and circumstances. Eve Gregory and Ann Williams contextualize the
participants' stories and go far to dispel the deep-seated myths
surrounding the teaching and learning of reading and writing in
urban, multicultural areas. The result is both poignant and highly
significant to the study of literacy.
