Book Review: Anne J. Kershen (ed.) (2015), London the Promised Land Revisited. The Changing Face of the London Migrant Landscape in the Early 21st Century
Journal Title: Central and Eastern European Migration Review - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
London the Promised Land Revisited (2015), edited by Anne Kershen, comes as a timely continuation of London the Promised Land? The Migrant Experience in a Capital City (1997), the first volume in the series on ‘Migration and Diaspora’, edited by the same author. This second edited collection continues to trace the impact of immigration on London by exploring a set of trends that construct the intensity and diversity of its contemporary landscape, this time relying on an almost completely new set of contributors.
