Description
Darren McGarvey's Poverty Safari offers a visceral and cogently argued exploration of the experience of extreme poverty in modern Britain. The author, who has lived through addiction, abuse, and homelessness, invites readers to join him on a journey into the heart of poverty, where the pressures are intense and the legacy is hard to overcome. MCGarvey argues that both the political left and right misunderstand poverty as it is actually lived, and sets forth a vision for change. With razor-sharp analysis and fearless honesty, he sheds light on the issues of inequality, tribalism, cultural anxiety, identity politics, the poverty industry, and the resentment, anger, and feelings of exclusion that have fueled right-wing populism and the rise of ethno-nationalism. Through his book, McGarvey seeks to explain why people from deprived communities feel angry and unheard, and to show how the pressures of poverty can shape our lives in profound ways.
