Endurance & Joy in the East End 1971-1987

David Hoffman’s bold, humane photography records a lost era, speaking vividly to our own times.

When David Hoffman was a young photographer, he came to live in a squat in Fieldgate Mansions in Whitechapel and it changed his life.

Over the following years, he documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.

A hefty cloth-bound hardback of 240 pages containing over 200 duotone photographic prints on good quality paper.

With an introduction by David Hoffman and commentary throughout.
