Title
Working People: Life in a Downtown City Neighbourhood
Abstract
This book is a portrait of the people and events of a working-class Toronto neighbourhood under pressure from developers and middle-class renovators. The book is a classic, intimate study of the people of Toronto's East of Parliament neighbourhood in the 1970's, a time when the working-class district came under unprecedented pressure from developers and middle-class gentrification. An unconventional account, Working People combines a wide variety of materials - interviews, economic analysis, songs, jokes, newspaper advertisements, community newspapers, photographs - to present an unparalleled portrait of a changing urban community in depth. Working People remains a fascinating record of a community in transition. --Publisher's description
