But the history of London has always been a history of immigration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Panikos Panayi explores the rich and vibrant story of London--from its founding two millennia ago by Roman invaders, to Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period, to the Windrush generation invited from Caribbean countries in the twentieth century. Panayi shows how migration has been fundamental to London's economic, social, political and cultural development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMigrant City\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the various ways in which newcomers have shaped London life, acting as cheap labour, contributing to the success of its financial sector, its curry houses, and its football clubs. London's economy has long been driven by migrants, from earlier continental financiers and more recent European Union citizens. Without immigration, fueled by globalization, Panayi argues, London would not have become the world city it is today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Panikos Panayi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300264720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300264722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.04w x 1.34d","brand":"Panikos Panayi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047688859903,"sku":"9780300264722","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2c1dfc7-9e63-45f3-b035-e5530e1565e2.jpg?v=1684991651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/migrant-city-panikos-panayi-9780300264722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
