This book is about Bristol's changing face. Written by an author
who grew up in the heart of Bristol's ghetto, Palmer sheds light on
the supposed 'renovation' that Bristol's poorer quarters have been
undergoing. Growing up in Easton's neighbouring Whitehall, he would
get into fights, be beaten up, be robbed at the end of a gun
barrel, and experience the rough and ready upbringing that youths
in these areas face the country over. After returning from
university, however, he began to hear that Easton and similarly
poor areas like St Pauls and Bedminster were 'up and coming'. To
get to the bottom of this claim, Palmer interviews countless people
and draws on much research to reveal the shocking reality that
faces the type of people he grew up with: rent hikes, snobbery,
institutional racism, homelessness, and removal from the
communities they once loved.
