| Abstract | "In areas like ours, everything we've ever had we fought for. It wasn't just handed to us," says Anna Hutchison, a community activist and one of the founders of the North Edinburgh Social History Group. For decades, Anna tells the author, the community has had to struggle for the basic amenities others in the city take for granted, waging campaign after campaign for better housing and community conditions, better play facilities for children, and battling to keep vital local services alive. It is an amazing story of resilience and creativity in the face of injustice and indifference. But in recent years community participation has been declining, with many older activists walking away, frustrated by an "engagement" agenda which seemed to them designed to manage dissent and control communities. Anna, together with other veterans, developed a project that would provide a lasting record of the community's struggles, while also reinvigorating the spirit of activism, particularly among younger people.
