Trauma Industrial Complex
*The new book from the Orwell Prize-Winning author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us*
Today, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books - my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, I've observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma.
In Trauma Industrial Complex, I ask the question: How did we get here? And are the stories we're telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped? In this revealing and deeply personal book, I'll pull back the curtain, sharing the hard-won wisdom I've gained from the events brought on by telling my own story.
Poverty Safari
Darren McGarvey has experienced poverty and its devastating effects first-hand. He knows why people from deprived communities all around Britain feel angry and unheard. And he wants to explain...
So he invites you to come on a safari of sorts. But not the kind where the wildlife is surveyed from a safe distance. This book takes you inside the experience of poverty to show how the pressures really feel and how hard their legacy is to overcome.
Arguing that both the political left and right misunderstand poverty as it is actually lived, McGarvey sets out what everybody - including himself - could do to change things. Razor-sharp, fearless and brutally honest, Poverty Safari is an unforgettable insight into modern Britain.
