Brick Lane today is a place of extremes – a street that's constantly reinventing itself. Blending history and reportage with personal testimony and urban myths, and interspersing these with maps and photography, On Brick Lane is a one-of-a-kind chronicle of one of London's most remarkable streets.
Bringing to life the memories and realities of Brick Lane's many communities, Rachel Lichtenstein harnesses the voices of the famous, the infamous and the obscure, merging memoir, reportage, poetry, photography and local history. The result is as vibrant and fascinating as the neighbourhood it so movingly celebrates.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. On Brick Lane is a journey into the heart of the East End, an excavation of past, memory, place and people.By looking at a single street, Rachel Lichtenstein teases out the story of one of London's most vibrant and dynamic communities. It is a story of immigration - of Huguenots, Jews, Bangladeshis; of anarchists and fascists; of abandoned synagogues, teeming mosques and incongruent Hawksmoor churches; of gangsters and artists; shopkeepers and street life; the beating heart of a never-still, always-vocal people.With Lichtenstein's skilful guidance, it becomes a trip through a world that is at once recognizable, but also wonderfully stange. A chronicle of one of London's most remarkable streets, Brick Lane. It attempts to bring to life the memories and realities of Brick Lane's many communities, and harnesses the voices of the famous, the infamous and the obscure, merging memoir, reportage, poetry, photography and local history.
