Reviews

Combining fascinating historical analysis with refreshing sociological insights, this book fills a vital gap in political thinking. Thoroughly researched and fiercely defended, Tichelar draws on geography, race and class to answer one of politics' unanswered questions. Rt. Hon. David Lammy, Labour Party Member of Parliament for Tottenham, 2000-present, UK. This wide-ranging book sheds light on a vital political question: why has London become such a bastion of Labour Party support and radical politics, at the same time that it has become such a central site of global capitalism? In placing London's profile in long term wide ranging historical perspective, Michael Tichelar offers a valuable account which will interest everyone concerned with the future of left politics in the UK. Mike Savage, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.
