'Indispensable . . . Speaks of hope and courage' Observer 'An ode
to openness, offering a refreshing alternative to those accounts
that treat migrants as faceless statistics' David Lammy MP 'A
highly informed and eloquent account of life in a modern British
city during a period of globalisation, austerity and mass
migration' Patrick Cockburn, Independent Race and migration are the
most prominent and divisive issues in British politics today. As
Brexit and the dangers of Islamist extremism are being used to
reassert a closed British identity, these stories - of fifty
migrants, first and second generations; men and women; from
thirteen different countries from Ireland to India, Pakistan to
Poland, the Caribbean to Somalia - highlight the variety of migrant
experience and offer an antidote to the fear-mongering of the
tabloid press. This positive story of integration is all too rarely
told, and it offers a firm defence of the principles of equality
and increased diversity. Our City shows why mixed, open societies
are the way forward for twenty-first-century cities, and how
migrants help modern Britain not only survive but prosper.
