More DescriptionSome two decades since the publication of London the Promised Land?, which charted and investigated the successes and failures of the migrant experience in London over a period of three hundred years, this book re-examines the migrant landscape in London. Examining the changes to the migrant landscape of contemporary London at the micro, meso and macro levels, London The Promised Land Revisited explores a range experiences in the capital, including the presence and treatment of illness amongst migrants, the phenomenon of migrant 'invisibility' and asylum, the migrant marketplace and ethnic 'clustering', and interaction with local and national government - across a variety of migrant groups, both 'new' and 'old'. As such, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interest in migration, migrant experiences and the contemporary 'global' city.
