| book description |
A SOCIOLOGICAL WORK FROM ENVELOPEBOOKS Wembley Speaks is a new type of grassroots sociology. Based entirely on postings on Nextdoor, the local networking app, the book reveals how a community talks to itself and what matters to it. As well as housing England’s national stadium, Wembley – the community under observation – is unusual in its demographics. Over 70% of the population has an ethnic minority background, compared to 18% for England as a whole. To what extent do tensions arise? Wembley Speaks provides a heartwarmingly reassuring answer. It shows how people engage with each other, how they challenge and support each other, what triggers their concerns and shapes their attitudes, how they use language, what they find funny and how they work together for the common good. Uplifting.
