And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49385661235427,"sku":"9780008772970","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9780008772970.jpg?v=1783616822","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.live\/products\/9780008772970","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
