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 to represent places and people. On the contrary: a
gulf has opened up between analysis of contemporary London as a
global, postcolonial city, on the one hand, and historical accounts
of the imperial capital on the other. The author shows how the gap
can be bridged by combining an analysis of the representation over
time by various experts of London and certain localities with an
investigation of the ways in which residents have represented their
communities through struggles over symbolic and material resources.
