Leeds and its Jewish Community - A History (Hardcover)

The book provides a comprehensive history of the third-largest
Jewish community in Britain and fills an acknowledged gap in both
Jewish and urban historiography. Bringing together the latest
research and building on earlier local studies, the book provides
an analysis of the special features which shaped the community in
Leeds. Organised in three sections, Context, Chronology and
Contours, the book demonstrates how Jews have influenced the city
and how the city has influenced the community. A small community
was transformed by the late Victorian influx of poor migrants from
the Russian Empire and within two generations had become
successfully integrated into the city's social and economic
structure. More than a dozen authors contribute to this definitive
history and the editor provides both an introductory and concluding
overview which brings the story up to the present day. The book
will be of interest to both historians and general readers. -- .
