The city of London is celebrated as one of the most ethnically
diverse capitals in the world, and has been a magnet of migration
since its origin. Looking to London steps into the maelstrom of
current and recent wars and the resulting migration crisis, telling
the stories of women refugees who have made it to London to seek
safe haven among the city's Kurdish, Somali, Tamil, Sudanese and
Syrian communities, under the watchful eye of the security
services. Cynthia Cockburn brings her lively and lucid style to a
world in which hatred is being countered by compassion, at a moment
when the nationalist, anti-immigrant sentiment expressed in Brexit
is being challenged by a warm-hearted 'refugees welcome' movement
bringing community activists into partnership with London borough
councils for the reception and rehoming of victims of war. This
book is essential reading for all who want to think more deeply
about the meaning of asylum.
