FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Book - POLICIES OF EXCLUSION, POVERTY & HEALTH: STORIES FROM THE FRONT
Duncan, British Columbia
December 1, 2004

“How many times in the past while has someone looked right through you?”is
one question asked in the new book Policies of Exclusion, Poverty & Health:
Stories from the Front, which is the outcome of an intense study of 21 women
living in poverty in one Canadian community.

The book includes the 21 stories, written in the women’s own words, plus two
reports – also written in the first-person and so from the storytellers'
perspective. The first report draws out the dominant themes found in the
stories. The second details the storytellers' recommendations for positive
change and offers encouragement and advice to other women in poverty to
“mobilize, galvanize, and politicize.” Together, the stories and reports
contain surprises that challenge long-held assumptions about Canada’s poor.

An “amazing odyssey [of] courage, grit, and determination.” --Stephen Hume,
The Vancouver Sun.
