Summary: Alex Rhys-Taylor presents a ground-breaking sensory ethnography of East London in this book. He investigates issues such as gentrification, class antagonism, new ethnicities, and globalization in the multicultural environment of London, one of the world`s most international cities. The author demonstrates how London is defined by its complex history of socioeconomic development and multiculture, and how its scents and cuisine are essential to comprehending both its past and the reality of London`s metropolitan present. This is a very unique addition to the disciplines of sensory studies, culinary studies, urban studies, and cultural studies, thanks to its creative methodology.
