Ethnicity, class and aspiration: Understanding London's new East End
Tim Butler
Abstract
East London has undergone dramatic changes over the last 30 years, primarily as a result of London's large-scale de-industrialisation and the rise in its financial sector. Large parts of inner East London remain deprived, but a once overwhelmingly white working-class area is now home to a more complex and mobile class and ethnic mix. This book focuses on the aspirations of these different groups and the strategies they have pursued about where to live, driven in part by a concern to ensure a good education for their children.
Keywords: East London, de-industrialisation, financial sector, working class, education, mobile class, ethnic mix
