London Voices, London Lives: Tales from a Working Capital by Professor Sir Peter Hall

With the Michael Young Memorial Lecture by Peter Hall: London Voices, 1957–2007: From Family and Kinship to London Lives

"London Voices, London Lives (Policy Press) offers a unique insight into what a cross-section of Londoners feel about their lives and the lives of those around them. Using their own voices, with Peter Hall’s linking commentary, the book documents interviews with over a hundred people in eight localities, to provide an extraordinary social record of one of the world’s greatest cities at the start of a new millennium.

London Voices, London Lives is published half a century after Michael Young and Peter Willmott’s sociological classic Family and Kinship in East London. In his lecture, Peter Hall will review the momentous economic and social changes that have come over the East End, and London, over the intervening fifty years."
