Migrant History: A New History of London: by Panikos Panayi, New Haven, University of Yale Press, 2020, 448 pp., £20.00 (hardback), ISBN 9780300210972.

London has acted as a magnet for the attention of social investigators since the early nineteenth century. Panayi eschews a strictly chronological approach, and instead each chapter examines a different thematic part of migrant London life, social, cultural, demographic, economic, and political. This is not the case with I Migrant City i - Panayi never loses control over his material, whilst providing an in-depth analysis of the results of migration and settlement.
