Hugh Savage (1919-96) had the greatest hatred for a system of society that denies there is any such thing as society, that stigmatises the needy, that practises the philosophy of greed and encourages the triumph of the powerful. Born Up A Close is a memoir of growing up in twentieth century industrial Scotland where the politics of social inequality were every day evident. As James Kelman writes in his introduction, Hugh Savage's account helps to reclaim aspects of Clydeside's radical history.
