伦敦的Soho区在维多利亚时代晚期和第二次世界大战结束之间经历了一场壮观的转变：其古老的建筑和黑暗的街道因性，犯罪，政治不忠和种族多样性而臭名昭着，成为烹饪和文化旅游中心，为附近商店和剧院的顾客提供服务。对特权阶层和向上移动的阶层的纵容，形成了一个危险的、越界的空间，这个空间被想象为“在”国家之外。朱迪思·沃克维茨将苏荷区视为例外，但也是伦敦城市转型的代表，她展示了该地区的异国情调和多孔性如何成为20世纪上半叶文化爆炸和现代性发展的关键。她借鉴了大量不同寻常的资料，将生动的故事和令人难忘的人物拼凑成一床丰富的拼布被子，揭示了Soho如何成为一个新的国际化身份的展示。
London's Soho district underwent a spectacular transformation between the late Victorian era and the end of the Second World War: its old buildings and dark streets infamous for sex, crime, political disloyalty, and ethnic diversity became a center of culinary and cultural tourism servicing patrons of nearby shops and theaters. Indulgences for the privileged and the upwardly mobile edged a dangerous, transgressive space imagined to be "outside" the nation. Treating Soho as exceptional, but also representative of London's urban transformation, Judith Walkowitz shows how the area's foreignness and porousness were key to the explosion of culture and development of modernity in the first half of the twentieth century. She draws on a vast and unusual range of sources to stitch together a rich patchwork quilt of vivid stories and unforgettable characters, revealing how Soho became a showcase for a new cosmopolitan identity.
