Synopsis:

An affectionate portrait of North East England - past, present and future - this book describes the region as one of lively prosperity and continual economic renewal. Drawing on history, goegraphy, popular culture, political economy, music, literature and sport, "Geordies" celebrates the culture of the North East. It shows how the region not only has a thriving artistic centre, an unrivalled public transport system and some of the most racially integrated communities in Britain, but also maintains a sense of humour.

Review: "A celebration of North Eastern virtues, from the lovely countryside to the powerful cultural tradition."  —Guardian

"The hard edged analysis is welcome."  —New Statesman
