The Parkes Institute is very pleased to have published this lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed book in which Tony Kushner explores how migrants have shaped both the history of Southampton and the present city.

The book incorporates poetry, art, and testimony, including contributions from those of many different migrant backgrounds and ages exploring especially the importance of the 'everyday'. It also includes walking tours of the old city, reinterpreting old buildings and heritage sites through the prism of migration, as well as the historic cemetery. It provides a rich and multi-layered study of this fascinating port city.
