Bøger af Peter Willmott

Peter Willmott went to Dagenham in Essex, where forty years before the London County Council began to build a giant estate to rehouse people from the East End of London. Originally published in 1963, his study ¿ of a new estate that had now become an old one ¿ throws light on the long-term effects of this kind of migration.

Originally published in 1960, the authors of Family and Kinship in East London then made an intensive study of a middle-class dormitory suburb. Here families were more often on their own than in the East End, but, despite the differences between the districts, there were some similarities.

An anthropological study that compares a central London neighborhood with a London suburb in terms of family and community life, mobility, social status, and social interaction. The main themes of this book are the differences between the London suburb and the East End, and the differences between the middle and working-class residents.

A study of family life in the East End of London in the 1950s, based on extensive interviews and case studies, which examines the consequences of moving families from urban to suburban public housing.
