About this book
When Ciani-Sophia Hoeder was 14 years old, she went to the Berlin food bank with her mother for the first time. She didn't tell anyone about it and was ashamed that her family was poor - because poverty is a dirty word, a symbol of personal failure. It was only later that she realized that it was actually a structural problem and that social advancement in Germany is nowhere near as easy as is often suggested. Ciani-Sophia Hoeder sheds light on the intersections of money, shame and power and shows how class mixes with other forms of discrimination. She talks to experts, activists, rich and poor people and shows how a lack of equal opportunities characterizes this country - and how we can change that.
