Endangered Tiger: A Community Under Threat
What’s happened to Tiger Bay? Combining personal memory, community history and sketches of everyday life, this is a powerful, deeply-felt memoir of life in Wales’ most famous - and most maligned - multi-ethnic community. Triggered off by an illness which brought the author near death, the book is an insider’s account of a small but very significant Cardiff district whose existence is now under threat. By
turns mournful and polemic, Endangered Tiger is filled with informative,
often fascinating stories about characters, streets and everyday life
in old Tiger Bay and in the present. But above all the book is fuelled
by a desire to set the record straight - to counter the tenacious, negative
stereotypes that have portrayed the author’s community as a den
of vice, violence and disrepute. This personalised community history
is also a humane statement against racism and provincialism in Wales. |

Woman Walking: A Different Experience of World Travel by Maureen
Stone Ask Maureen Stone when she started 'walking' and she will tell you with mild irritation, "Ever since I stopped crawling." But she is lying, she never crawled! She was a very sickly child who did not walk until she was almost three and then went on to walk the world. This is a book about travel that is not a travel book.
