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 topical 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. The book will be essential reading for students and academics in sociology, urban studies, geography and multicultural studies.

CLIMATE DISASTERS. CIVIL WARS. MASS MIGRATIONS. India is in chaos. Storms destroy coastal cities, searing droughts cripple agriculture. The country is deteriorating, and millions are desperate to escape. Smugglers repurpose junked cargo ships as refugee vessels and hundreds of thousands of people wash up on Australian shores, straining already tense political relations. Jacqueline Laffite, Prime Minister of Australia, is pressured from both sides to solve the crisis, yet with India escorting the freighters of refugees with warships, it seems nothing will be able to stop the flow. Glen Robertson is a vaunted naval commander. On the front line, he becomes a pawn in Laffite's war and sacrifices everything for his country while wondering if it will be enough to achieve a solution. Dislocation explores the harsh realities of a post-climate change world and delves into the heart-wrenching moral choices humanity may have to make as a result.

India is in chaos. Giant storms destroy their coastal cities, and searing droughts cripple their agriculture. The country is degenerating into civil war along ethnic lines. Millions want out. People smugglers repurpose massive junked cargo ships as refugee vessels, and hundreds of thousands begin to wash up on Australia's shores. Australia and India quickly descend into war; Australia has to protect its borders and identity, India to protect its citizens who are fleeing a disintegrating nation. Jacqueline Laffite, Prime Minister of Australia has to solve the crisis, but the Indian's are escorting the freighters with warships; it seems that nothing will stop the flow. How can she protect her country without sacrificing her humanity? Glen Robertson is a vaunted naval commander. On the front line, he becomes a pawn in Laffite's war and sacrifices everything for his country. But will it be enough? Dislocation is a thought-provoking novel that resonates with excitement. It explores the distinct possibility that Australia will soon be at war with its neighbours in a post-climate-change world, and the incredibly difficult moral choices our leaders will have to make as a result.

"This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in class, inequality, poverty and politics. Actually, probably more importantly it should be read by people who think that those things do not matter! It provides a wonderful summation of the huge amount of work on these topics that now exists and it also offers its own distinctive perspectives on a set of issues that are - despite the claims of some influential commentators - still central to the sociological enterprise and, indeed to political life." - Roger Burrows, University of York "A clear and compelling analysis of the dynamics of social and spatial inequality in an era of globalisation. This is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in sociology, human geography and the social sciences more generally." - Gary Bridge, University of Bristol With the declining attention paid to social class in sociology, how can we analyze continuing and pervasive socio-economic inequality? What is the impact of recent developments in sociology on how we should understand disadvantage? Moving beyond the traditional dichotomies of social theory, this book brings the study of social stratification and inequality into the 21st century. Starting with the widely agreed 'fact' that the world is becoming more unequal, this book brings together the 'identity of displacement' in sociology and the 'spaces of flow' of geography to show how place has become an increasingly important focus for understanding new trends in social inquality.

Symbolizing both commerce and culture, London has always been a magnet for the ambitions of the middle classes. However, this work shows that new middle-class neighbourhoods have sprung up where embattled workers seek to combat the effects of long working hours, travel and stress.

Symbolizing both commerce and culture, London has always been a magnet for the ambitions of the middle classes. However, the past three decades have witnessed a dramatic fragmentation in inner-city Londons social map. New and highly distinctive middle-class neighbourhoods have sprung up where embattled workers seek to combat the deleterious effects of long working hours, travel, and stress on traditional family values. This book is the first to explore the powerful impact of globalization on Londons economy and those who are caught up in it. More and more people are responding to the negative effects of working life as well as the lack of structure in their lives and particularly those of their children. The gentrification of certain areas and the differences among them directly reflects this desire to impose cultural values and structure on urban surroundings. How do these areas reflect middle-class values, ideologies, lifestyles, social backgrounds and occupational choices, and how have old neighbourhoods been refashioned and made amenable to middle-class life? In what ways has family life been affected by this new emphasis on values, structure and security, and what does the future hold? This fascinating book provides the first sustained analysis of the profound effects of globalization on city dwellers. Its original account of the relationship between urban space and cultural reproduction will inspire new research for years to come.
