- catalog abstract ""In a world of "experts" and "professionals," it's rare that we hear the true voices of people living in poverty. Sheila Baxter describes herself with dignity as a working-class Cockney woman who is fat, old and poor. A dedicated anti-poverty activist, now in her sixties, she has no plans to stop raising hell about homelessness, poor-bashing, children and seniors living in poverty, and oppression of fat people. Her straight-up, from-the-heart accounts of poor communities, grassroots activism and initiatives for change are complemented by current statistics on poverty in Canada. Baxter also includes interviews with other activists - from neighbourhood volunteers to Members of Parliament - documenting the resistance and compassion that underlie activism for social justice. Still Raising Hell is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding and fighting poverty in the 21st century."--BOOK JACKET.".
