- This book offers a highly original and richly theorised account of life on a council estate in Nottingham. The research took over 7 years to complete and is an extensive in-depth ethnography drawing on interviews and access to people that the wider research community considers ‘hard to reach’. The book provides a unique longitudinal and multi-dimensional account of working class life and poverty in Britain, incorporating narratives of gender and race among other divisions and differences. It represents a highly significant contribution to the discipline, as evidenced by 385 citations since its publication in 2015.
