Description

Welcome to Broadwater Farm, one of the most well-known housing estates in Britain. A place where post-war dreams of concrete utopia ended in riots, violence and sub-standard housing.

In this collection, Tottenham-born Jac Shreeves-Lee gives voice to the people of Broadwater Farm. With evocative language and raw storytelling, she compassionately portrays their shared sense of community. A community with a rich cultural heritage, comprising over forty nationalities, generations old.

Rauf, activist and author of 'The Boy at the Back of the Class'; 'The beauty is in the complex reality of every day, summed up in skillfully written prose.' - Dawn Ferdinand, Headteacher at The Willow Primary School and Broadwaters' Children's Centre
