Reviews

"[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
