Drawing on a two-year multi-platform initiative, this book by award-winning journalist and author Mary O'Hara, asks how we can overturn the fundamentally pernicious portrayal of poverty once and for all. What does it mean to be poor in Britain and America?

Drawing on a two-year multi-platform initiative, this book by award-winning journalist and author Mary O'Hara, asks how we can overturn this fundamentally pernicious portrayal once and for all. Crucially, she turns to the real experts to try to find answers - the people who live it'A necessary book in divisive times.' - Jameela Jamil, actress and activist
