Voices Matter: Jane-Finch Residents Speak Out (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780992149208)

It's about life in a neighbourhood that has received a lot of media attention since the late 1960s. A lot of this attention has come in the form of lurid headlines, making "Jane-Finch" synonymous with all the worst aspects of the "inner-city." This book looks beyond the headlines. Speaking as area residents, members of Jane-Finch On The Move share their stories and opinions throughout the book. Stereotypes are shattered, as we present stories about obstacles met and overcome, confrontations and compromise, and challenges looming ahead. Voices are heard as we give our opinions on topics such as police, politics, and housing. Written in a conversational style, "Voices Matter" personalizes social issues and adds depth to stories behind the headlines.
