Description
Dragged Up Proppa is a powerful and poignant memoir that explores the complexities of growing up working-class in a forgotten England. Born in a coal-miner's cottage, Pip Fallow's life was shaped by the closure of his village's mine in the 1980s, forcing him to navigate the challenges of unemployment and social upheaval.
This is Pip's story of resilience and determination, as he worked and travelled the world before finally settling back in his hometown. With unflinching honesty, he shares his experiences of the devastating social and economic changes that have affected Britain, from the north-south divide to social mobility and class.
Through his account, Pip sheds light on the broken promises of the past and their lasting impact on communities and politics today. A story of a lost generation, Dragged Up Proppa is a powerful exploration of the human cost of deindustrialization and government neglect.
