A conversation starter ‘On Class’ and poverty in Canada

First Published:

‘On Class’ from Deborah Dundas is the latest in the ‘field notes’ series from publisher Biblioasis. Deborah Dundas grew up poor and knows the pressure of class guilt and the ‘crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you.’

On Class

In ‘On Class’ she talks to writers, activists, those who work with the poor and those who are poor about what happens when we don’t talk about poverty or class–and what will happen when we do.
