This book offers a detailed account of the employment promises made
to local East Londoners when the Summer Olympic Games 2012 were
awarded to London, as well as an examination of how those promises
had morphed into the Olympic Labor market jamboree from which local
communities were excluded. Regarding the global job market of
London, this study provides a nuanced empirical view on how the
world's biggest mega event was experienced and endured in terms
employment by its immediate hosts, in one of the UK's poorest, most
ethnically complex, and transient areas. The data has been
collected through ethnographic observation and interviews with
local residents, and expert interviews with the Olympic delivery
professionals. Using Bourdieusian theory of contested capital, the
findings provide an important bearing on the reproduction of
inequality in the local labor markets of Olympic host cities.
