Panikos Panayi Knihy

The period between 1929 and 1949 is arguably the most traumatic and destructive in the history of Germany. Using vital primary sources, archival material and revealing interviews, Panikos Panayi presents an extraordinary analysis of the experiences of, and relationships between, native ethnic Germans, German refugees from Eastern Europe, German Jews, Romanies and foreigners in the German town of Osnabrück during these turbulent years.

The story of Osnabrück is the story of the tragedy that engulfed Germany in the first half of the twentieth century and, in doing so, defined a generation.

The first history of London to show how immigrants have built, shaped and made a great success of the capital city London is now a global financial and multicultural hub in which over three hundred languages are spoken. But the history of London has always been a history of immigration. Panikos Panayi explores the rich and vibrant story of London- from its founding two millennia ago by Roman invaders, to Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period, to the Windrush generation invited from Caribbean countries in the twentieth century. Panayi shows how migration has been fundamental to London's economic, social, political and cultural development. Migrant City sheds light on the various ways in which newcomers have shaped London life, acting as cheap labour, contributing to the success of its financial sector, its curry houses, and its football clubs. London's economy has long been driven by migrants, from earlier continental financiers and more recent European Union citizens.
