Review
and#160;"Danny Dorling consistently works to subject the myths that sustain inequality and injustice to the test of patient inquiry. In the political struggles that lie ahead of us we need a social science that does not reproduce the assumptions of the privileged and the powerful. We need, in other words, to read Danny Dorling. "
