Bibliography
Index
John Eade is Reader in the Faculty of Social and Life Sciences, University of Surrey, Roehampton.
"[The] book is neatly divided into three tours of the focal districts of Central London [and] replete with lurid and dangerous sights and sounds ... I am lured by Eade's new manual to travel to London to sample samosas, discover provocative multicultural art and theater, and make nocturnal sorties for the hoisting of ales." · Urban Affairs "[The author] writes clearly and with feeling ... [The information] is always plausible and well documented." · Contemporary Sociology "... an excellent ... wonderful collection of essays." · Friends Newsletter, Max Kade Institute "An impressive and scholarly analysis ... a profound, college-level retrospective and highly recommended." · The Midwest Book Review "... a timely and innovative study. The scholarship is sound and the book is well organised and clearly written." · Les Back, Goldsmiths College
