Some 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. While
remaining a beacon for immigrants, the migrant face of the city has
changed rapidly and dramatically from one which was heavily
populated by semi-skilled and unskilled post-colonial incomers, to
one which now embraces the EU Accession Countries, refugees from
the Middle East and Africa, oligarchs from Russia, the new wealthy
from China, economic migrants from Latin America and Ireland, and
still, post-colonial immigrants - at the same time witnessing the
exodus 'home' of incomers, or their descendants, who now see
opportunities where there were none before. The contributors, all
leading academics and practitioners in their diverse fields,
examine changes to the migrant landscape of contemporary London at
the micro, meso and macro levels. London the Promised Land
Revisited thus explores a range of 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.
