Migrant City - A New History of London

Panikos Panayi explores the vibrant history of London's immigration scene. Ranging from Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period to the Windrush generation in the twentieth century, Panayi shows how migration is fundamental to the city's economic and cultural development - and demonstrates the ways in which newcomers have shaped London life.
