Book Synopsis The Left, the Right and the Jews by : W.D. Rubinstein
Download or read book The Left, the Right and the Jews written by W.D. Rubinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this book examines anti-semitism in the Western world. The author concludes that, fringe neo-Nazi groups notwithstanding, significant anti-semitism is largely a left-wing rather than a right-wing phenomenon. He finds that Jews have reacted to this change in their situation and in attitudes towards them by making a shift to the right in most Western countries, with the major exception of the United States. Considering the contribution of Jews to socialist thought from Marx onwards and the equally lengthy history of right-wing anti-semitism, this shift is one of the most significant in Jewish history. This movement to the right is discussed in separate chapters, as is Soviet anti-semitism and the status of the State of Israel. Examined in depth are the implications of this shift in attitude for Jewish philosophy and self-identity.
Book Synopsis The Jews of Britain, 1656 to 2000 by : Todd M. Endelman
Download or read book The Jews of Britain, 1656 to 2000 written by Todd M. Endelman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Todd Endelman's spare and elegant narrative, the history of British Jewry in the modern period is characterized by a curious mixture of prominence and inconspicuousness. British Jews have been central to the unfolding of key political events of the modern period, especially the establishment of the State of Israel, but inconspicuous in shaping the character and outlook of modern Jewry. Their story, less dramatic perhaps than that of other Jewish communities, is no less deserving of this comprehensive and finely balanced analytical account. Even though Jews were never completely absent from Britain after the expulsion of 1290, it was not until the mid- seventeenth century that a permanent community took root. Endelman devotes chapters to the resettlement; to the integration and acculturation that took place, more intensively than in other European states, during the eighteenth century; to the remarkable economic transformation of Anglo-Jewry between 1800 and 1870; to the tide of immigration from Eastern Europe between 1870 and 1914 and the emergence of unprecedented hostility to Jews; to the effects of World War I and the turbulent events up to and including the Holocaust; and to the contradictory currents propelling Jewish life in Britain from 1948 to the end of the twentieth century. We discover not only the many ways in which the Anglo-Jewish experience was unique but also what it had in common with those of other Western Jewish communities.

Book Synopsis Whitehall and the Jews, 1933-1948 by : Louise London
Download or read book Whitehall and the Jews, 1933-1948 written by Louise London and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-27 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whitehall and the Jews is the most comprehensive study to date of the British response to the plight of European Jewry under Nazism. It contains the definitive account of immigration controls on the admission of refugee Jews, and reveals the doubts and dissent that lay behind British policy. British self-interest consistently limited humanitarian aid to Jews. Refuge was severely restricted during the Holocaust, and little attempt made to save lives, although individual intervention did prompt some admissions on a purely humanitarian basis. After the war, the British government delayed announcing whether refugees would obtain permanent residence, reflecting the government's aim of avoiding long-term responsibility for large numbers of homeless Jews. The balance of state self-interest against humanitarian concern in refugee policy is an abiding theme of Whitehall and the Jews, one of the most important contributions to the understanding of the Holocaust and Britain yet published.

Book Synopsis The Early Jews and Muslims of England and Wales by : Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman
Download or read book The Early Jews and Muslims of England and Wales written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that Jews were present in England in substantial numbers from the Roman Conquest forward. Indeed, there has never been a time during which a large Jewish-descended, and later Muslim-descended, population has been absent from England. Contrary to popular history, the Jewish population was not expelled from England in 1290, but rather adopted the public face of Christianity, while continuing to practice Judaism in secret. Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Muslims held the highest offices in the land, including service as archbishops, dukes, earls, kings and queens. Among those proposed to be of Jewish ancestry are the Tudor kings and queens, Queen Elizabeth I, William the Conqueror, and Thomas Cromwell. Documentaton in support of this revisionist history includes DNA studies, genealogies, church records, place names and the Domesday Book.
Book Synopsis A History of the Jews in Britain Since 1858 by : Vivian David Lipman
Download or read book A History of the Jews in Britain Since 1858 written by Vivian David Lipman and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1990 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveys Anglo-Jewish history in the period 1858-1939. Notes that emancipation did not mean the end of anti-Jewish prejudice. Describes restrictions on East European Jewish immigration in 1881-1914, claiming that the common argument that immigration harmed native workers was connected with the policy of trade protectionism. In the Edwardian era, Jews began to be perceived as ruthless financial manipulators; Jewish interests were regarded as alien, and Jews were accused of ties with Germany during World War I. Between 1916 and the early 1920s, antisemitism grew: Jews were especially identified with the revolutionary movements, and the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" received wide prominence. In the 1930s, the British Union of Fascists and other fascist groups were active, and the Board of Deputies was forced to take defensive measures at a time when it was also involved in opposing Nazism and helping Central European Jewish refugees.

Book Synopsis The Jews and the Expansion of Europe to the West, 1450-1800 by : Paolo Bernardini
Download or read book The Jews and the Expansion of Europe to the West, 1450-1800 written by Paolo Bernardini and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews and Judaism played a significant role in the history of the expansion of Europe to the west as well as in the history of the economic, social, and religious development of the New World. They played an important role in the discovery, colonization, and eventually exploitation of the resources of the New World. Alone among the European peoples who came to the Americas in the colonial period, Jews were dispersed throughout the hemisphere; indeed, they were the only cohesive European ethnic or religious group that lived under both Catholic and Protestant regimes, which makes their study particularly fruitful from a comparative perspective. As distinguished from other religious or ethnic minorities, the Jewish struggle was not only against an overpowering and fierce nature but also against the political regimes that ruled over the various colonies of the Americas and often looked unfavorably upon the establishment and tleration of Jewish communities in their own territory. Jews managed to survive and occasionally to flourish against all odds, and their history in the Americas is one of the more fascinating chapters in the early modern history of European expansion.
Book Synopsis Jews in Britain by : Michael Leventhal
Download or read book Jews in Britain written by Michael Leventhal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the epic thousand-year story of Britain's Jewish community, the country's oldest minority group, replete with the dark episodes of persecution and expulsion, but also with positive periods of acceptance and toleration. Some Jews came as wealthy traders, others as desperate refugees; some had to lead secret lives, and others in different times stood shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the nation against threats to the British way of life, which included the Nazis. The impact of Jewish culture on daily life – on language, on food, on religion, art and business – has been inestimable, and this book is a fully illustrated introduction and fitting tribute.
