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
Ann's 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.
