From Hackney, With Love: An Intimate History of Gentrification

From Hackney, With Love is both a unique love letter to one of the most vibrant parts of London and a warning that its very existence is in jeopardy. Examining some of the most contested issues facing the borough today – including housing and regeneration, politics, class, race, education, youth violence, culture and gender identity – Yeboah amplifies the voices of Hackney’s new, existing and former communities and explores the relationship between gentrification and feelings of belonging and loss.
