Liverpool: The Hurricane Port Book
Scousers believe they live in a special place one that has more in common with Salvador da Bahia New Orleans or Gdansk than anywhere in England and the city has always punched above its weight. In less than a hundred years however Liverpool's image has declined from a major mercantile player known as the Second City of the Empire to what some social commentators have described as a cultural backwater remembered largely as the place where the Beatles were born. In "The Hurricane Port" Andrew Lees reveals how Liverpool's pre-eminence in the slave trade left an indelible scar on the psychogeography of the city. He also explores the roots of Liverpool's contrary nature its rebelliousness and its hedonism as well as some of the recent hurricanes that have battered the city including the anger of Toxteth Militant's stand against Margaret Thatcher and the murder of James Bulger. In this distinctly personal account Lees defines the characteristics of this Celtic enclave with her loudmouthed big-hearted people who have created a city quite different from anywhere else in the world.Read More
