The life histories and memories of the people who met at two successive Malay Club sites, initially in the south docks and subsequently in the Liverpool 8 area of the city, provide a novel window into Liverpool's changing urban geography and long distance connections. Bunnell begins by tracing the seafaring lives and labour of young Malay men in the mid-twentieth century when the commercial reach of maritime world city Liverpool extended to the Malay World region. He then examines Liverpool's post-imperial commercial demise and the intertwined economic \"rise\" of parts of Southeast Asia that Malay seamen had left behind. Finally, the book considers recent culture-led economic development strategies in Liverpool - particularly its branding as the \"world in one city\" - and their implications for Malay ex-seamen, their families and Malaysian citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom World City to the World in One City\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon interviews and participant observation in Liverpool, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as a range of archival, documentary, literary and popular cultural sources. \u003cp\u003e‘Here we have a distinctive approach to global and transnational urbanism, one that provides us with “sites and routes” that are markedly different from the normal science of urban studies.
