SPARKBROOK
Sparkbrook is the suburban community of Birmingham left behind as prosperity advanced across the city.
Today it is a suburb in which Irish. West Indians, Pakistanis, and Indians watch each other uneasily from behind the worn curtains of decrepit Victorian terraces. Beside them live the Brummies who also call Sparkbrook ' home.' The conflicts of such co-existence are many and complex. What can be done for Sparkbrook and for the other communities like it?
Reporter in Sparkbrook, PETER COLBOURNE
Introduced by EDGAR LUSTGARTEN
