About This Book

Kirjoittaja laskeutuu Lontoon itäpään köyhien asuinalueille ja asuu niiden keskellä tutkien arkea ja pahoinvointia. Hän kuvaa ahtaita asumisoloja, työttömyyttä, nälkää, lasten ja vanhusten kärsimystä sekä alkoholismin ja itsemurhien vaikutuksia, ja tarkastelee hyväntekeväisyyden ja työmarkkinoiden rajoitteita. Teksti yhdistää kenttähavainnon ja yhteiskuntakritiikin, esittelee tapauskuvauksia ja analysoi köyhyyden syitä, seurauksia ja mahdollisia yhteiskunnallisia vastauksia.
