Placing London by John Eade
London continues to fascinate a vast audience across the world, and an extensive, diverse literature now exists describing and analyzing this metropolis. The central question - what is London? - has produced many answers but none of them, the author argues, uncovers the complex ways in which knowledge is constructed in the diverse attempts...
"[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
