I could be so good for you : a portrait of the North London working class
Medhurst, John (Trade Union Officer)2023
Books
'I Could Be So Good For You' tackles head-on the pernicious and implicitly racist fiction that London, most especially north London, has no 'real' working class in comparison to a more 'authentic' working class in a place called 'the North'. In doing so it offers a history and a portrait of north London's working class from the 1950s to the 21st century, based on a wide and original range of sources including personal memoirs, autobiographies, collected oral histories and new interviews conducted by the author. The result is an important social history and a rich panorama of working-class life - its struggles, work, celebrations, events, triumphs, tragedies and the occasional nice little earner.
