Reviews / Votes
'This book should be compulsory reading for all politicians and policy-makers. It is recommended reading for those of us who elect and pay them!' www .gwales.com 'This is an unusual and imaginative book...a useful social document, at times academic, at times polemic, always ideologically committed. It achieves the important task of allowing people's voices to be heard.'(Planet)More details
