MY EAST END A History of Cockney London

Hardback. The East End of London is a place at once appealing and unruly, comforting and incomprehensible with cockneys, criminals, street markets, pub singalongs, dog racing, jellied eels. The author, an East Ender herself, shows there is more to this fascinating area than a collection of clichéd images. Using oral history and more traditional sources, she builds up a powerful image of this community - bringing to us, with wit and honesty, the real story of London's East End. Part 1 - The Making of the East End; Part 2 - Feeding the Imperial Powerhouse; Part 3 - The Golden Age; Part 4 - Post-war, Post-imperial, Post-industrial, Postmodern, Post East-End?
