For decades the primary narrative about poverty in both countries is that it has been caused by personal flaws or 'bad life decisions' rather than policy choices or economic inequality. This misleading account has become deeply embedded in the public consciousness with serious ramifications for how financially vulnerable people are seen, spoken about and treated. 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 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 "...the most comprehensive description of poverty I've seen yet" - Linda Tirado, journalist and author of Hand to Mouth "The Shame Game is the book we need right now. Real stories, by people who have lived that story, smashing apart the divisive narratives around poverty that are so damaging to all of us." - Kerry Hudson, author of Lowborn "I worked with Mary, and she sees the potential of talent and magic in every kid and every adult. This book explores the absolute travesty of blaming each other." - Conrad Murray, BAC Beatbox Academy 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Poverty|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Poverty|zUnited States. 650 0 Poverty|xSocial aspects|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Poverty|xSocial aspects|zUnited States. 650 0 Poverty|xPublic opinion. 700 1 O'hara, Mary. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15058988?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dvf_9781664918351_180.jpeg
