In this book, Dr. Anthony Nicholls uses a series of in-depth
interviews to investigate how young Jews talk about their
Jewishness, Britishness, and masculinity. From his analysis,
he argues that Jewishness is constructed between adherence to
halachic requirement on one hand, and Jewishness experienced
as cultural affinity to history, family, and tradition
without recourse to halacha on the other hand. He further
argues that Britishness is experienced between varying
degrees of nationalistic localism against cosmopolitan liberalism
played out against a backdrop of Britain contrasted with the
rest of the world, and also London against the rest of
Britain. Nicholls rejects the view that masculinity
is constructed in the inherently unstable terms of
physicality against intellectualism. Instead, he argues that
it is better considered as lying in a range
between competitive hegemonic masculinity and a cooperative
model with which physicality and intellectualism combine to
produce a more stable and emotionally satisfying mode of
living.
