In this mix of history, journalism, political analysis, and first-person accounts, former chief coroner and Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell, renowned criminologist Neil Boyd, and investigative journalist Lori Culbert, offer a portrait of one of North America’s poorest, most drug-challenged neighbourhoods: Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. A Thousand Dreams raises provocative questions about the challenges confronting not only Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside but also all of North America’s major cities and offers concrete, urgently needed solutions, including: Continued support for Insite, the safe injection site Decriminalization of prostitution and drugs The transfer of addiction services to the Health Ministry, allowing detox into the medical system More government-funded SROs and more affordable social housing

"This collection of seven life stories from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, sets out to create a space for the voices of women who are seldom heard on their own terms - the words of people who are publicly visible yet who, due to the blur of preconceptions that surround the inner city, remain unseen. To many, these women who offer their stories here are "people without history," defined only by belonging to a neighbourhood branded by layers of stigma." "Leslie Robertson's and Dara Culhane's introductions to both the collection and the individual stories provoke an ethnographic context for complex individuals too often hidden in plain sight within contemporary Western society which defines people more by what they have as consumers, than by who they are as people."--BOOK JACKET.

Residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside are not bound by poverty or addiction but rather driven by a sense of community, kinship, and above all, hope. For each of the past five years, Pivot Legal Society's annual Hope in Shadows photography contest has empowered residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside by providing them with 200 disposable cameras to document their lives - thus giving them an artistic means to enter the ongoing and often stormy dialogue over the place they call home. Since the contest's inception, DTES residents have taken over 20,000 images of their neighbor hood. Working with this archive, Brad Cran and Gillian Jerome have collected the personal stories behind these stunning photographs. Hope in Shadows offers readers an intimate and honest look at what it really means to live in Canada's poorest neighbor hood. The result is not at all bleak, but rather is full of grace, dignity, and plain simple truths that put a human face on the single most misunderstood community in Canada. This, then, is its story: about First Nations people who survived the residential school system; sex workers whose poor treatment at the hands of authorities precipitated the murder of dozens of women; those who cope with addiction and inadequate living conditions; those who overcome loss and search for loved ones; and the transformative power of hope and forgiveness. In surprising and astounding ways, Hope n Shadows will not only change the way you think about the Downtown Eastside and other impoverished neighbor hoods; it will also change your view of society as we know it, and of those who are forced to live in its shadows. A co-publication with Pivot Legal Society, a nonprofit legal advocacy organization located in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Its mandate is to take a strategic approach to social change, using the law to address the root causes that undermine the quality of life of those most on the margins. Pivot believes that everyone, regardless of income, benefits from a healthy and inclusive community where values such as respect and equality are strongly rooted in the law.

How can music-making help improve the lives of homeless people and others living in poverty in urban neighborhoods in the global North? How can popular music support the most vulnerable in developing their capabilities and asserting their human rights? In this book, author Klisala Harrisontakes readers to one of North America's poorest urban areas - Vancouver's Downtown Eastside - as she looks at and asks questions of its musical initiatives for the urban poor - from music jams and music therapy sessions to public performances of music theatre. Harrison not only demonstrates howthese initiatives succeed in promoting human rights but also reveals that they may sometimes unwittingly exacerbate human rights violations.Music Downtown Eastside draws on two decades of research to illustrate how human rights such as the right to health, the right to self-determination, and women's rights - all of which often remain unfulfilled for the homeless and the urban poor - can be promoted through music. Ethnographic vignettesand song lyrics by artists from the local community provide a vivid insight into the unique musical scene of Downtown Eastside. At the same time, Harrison's examination of how gentrification, grant funding, and different community organizations affect the success or failure of human rights-focusedmusical initiatives offers insights into the complex relationship between music, poverty, and human rights that have repercussions beyond this local context.

Missing Women, Missing News examines newspaper coverage of the arrest and trial of Robert Pickton, the man charged with murdering 26 street-level sex workers from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. It demonstrates how news narratives obscured the complex matrix of social and political conditions that made it possible for so many women to simply ‘disappear’ from a densely populated urban neighborhood without provoking an aggressive response by the state. Grounded in a theory of ideology, this book argues that the coverage offers a series of coherent explanations that hold particular individuals and practices accountable but largely omit, conceal, or erase the broader socio ‐ political context that renders those practices possible.
