Analyze the intersectional positionality of the author of the primary source

The author brings into light how the different aspects of identity intersect in this culture. The society has been characterized as affluent, irresponsible, and sick. Labor in London has been diversified immersely as every morning, black or brown men from west indies arrive to work in central London. The standards of living have risen, and people, often low-class individuals, live in transition zones, which are described as leftovers of accommodation. Also, they live in crowded houses to meet the cost as more developed houses have been taken over by the middle class and upper-class workers. The perception of gender and work has been revised, illustrating an increased number of women in employment in contrast to the ideologies of the role of women in society (Qian & Sayer 2016).  Despite the British society revealing itself to be more accommodating, prejudice against the Irish and Jews is still taken for granted.

How the author was influenced by their ideological, political and social-economic contexts

The author gets a skeptical position of influence on the ideologies, political, and social-economic aspects in the society concerned. First, the community has developed a contrary ideology for the formation and ownership of business enterprises. Italian and Indian restaurants are positioned in the backstreets of the city, hindering their development and growth. Secondly, ineffective planning has had a negative effect on the social, economic life of the people living in areas near the city as a livelihood has become expensive and, as a result, rendering a state of survival for the best with only the financially fit affording to live and work in the city. Lower class individuals, on the other hand, live in a deplorable state and also share houses so as to meet the cost. As post-war history is not efficiently defined, its course has made it difficult to gain a proper political perspective. During this period, there have been developed phases for both narrowing and widening political differences.

What kind of audience and impact/relevance of this primary source may have had historically and now?

The article depicts significant relevance as an agent of change in social structures. Drawing respect on the appreciation of inclusivity of people with varying characteristics such as race, religion, gender, sexuality, nationality, and class, there is a need to develop a more enabling environment not only for economic but for the well-being of all members of the society (Friedman 2017). It also shows the relevance of the developed social and political status of members in society. Secondly, the article reveals the outcomes of change in ideologies over a period. For instance, despite the shifts in the post-war direction, the growth of industries has led to increased employment opportunities and reasonable pay for the workers. More advanced residential areas have been developed, promoting good social worthiness of people by giving them a better roof over their heads. The social and living standards of people have also been significantly uplifted, and they can comfortably cater to their needs and wants. Employment has also been considerably concentrated, and workers are more mobile.

The relevance of their theorizing should be local, national, and transnational. Explain how this author and this particular work is relevant in these ways

The article illustrates its relevance locally, nationally, and transnationally because London, in terms of social policy, is a subject of the new version of putting the cart before the horse. This is done on the assumption of shortcomings of national systems and their effects on the government machinery. As a result, a piece of new machinery is formed by shifting responsibility from the central to local authorities.  Despite the increase in London’s own importance within the country, she represents a nation whose position has weakened globally. Moreover, London is still vulnerable as it largely depends on decisions made globally, and hence the country’s conditions and prospects are evidently linked to those of places all over the world (Hedlund & Benzie 2018).
