A Land of Dreams, first published in 1993, explores two events in
recent English history: the settlement of East European Jews in the
East End of London, and the growth of an African-Caribbean
community in Birmingham. It is an ethnographic study of two
first-generation migrant communities, built upon the experiences of
the migrants themselves. It focuses on the stories of their
migration and their early days in England, and in particular, upon
the stories of their working lives and their everyday struggles in
their new land. Placing two studies side by side exposes the quite
different social and economic conditions which confronted the two
groups of migrants upon arrival in England.
