Reviews
Following the life of Victor Sassoon, this engaging and accessible book successfully argues that the interwar period in the first decade of the twentieth century was when large cities around the world became intricately connected through the circulation of global capital., Wakeman is a historian at the top of her game. From the career of the international businessman Victor Sassoon between the world wars, she spins a tale of three cities and the myriad networks of trade, finance, and society that connected them. Mixing urban history, business history, and biography, this book is at once a story of empire and wealth as well as one of migration, poverty, strikes, and war. If you are looking for an imaginative take on global urban history, this is a wonderful place to start., Wakeman brings imperial economic history to life, interweaving brilliant cultural analysis with lively stories of men, money, and markets. The result is a tour de force of global urban history during the interwar period., In The Worlds of Victor Sassoon , Rosemary Wakeman explores the urban spaces and economies of Bombay, London, and Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. This elegantly written work depicts a world where globalization, seething political ferment, and technological change created instability and strife - and handsome profits for a lucky few.

Synopsis
An interpretative history of global urbanity in the 1920s and 1930s, from the vantage point of Bombay, London, and Shanghai, that follows the life of business tycoon Victor Sassoon. In this book, historian Rosemary Wakeman brings to life the frenzied, crowded streets, markets, ports, and banks of Bombay, London, and Shanghai. In the early twentieth century, these cities were at the forefront of the sweeping changes taking the world by storm as it entered an era of globalized commerce and the unprecedented circulation of goods, people, and ideas. Wakeman explores these cities and the world they helped transform through the life of Victor Sassoon, who in 1924 gained control of his powerful family's trading and banking empire. She tracks his movements between these three cities as he grows his family's fortune and transforms its holdings into a global juggernaut. Using his life as its point of entry, The Worlds of Victor Sassoon paints a broad portrait not just of wealth, cosmopolitanism, and leisure but also of the discrimination, exploitation, and violence wreaked by a world increasingly driven by the demands of capital.
