The past two decades have witnessed a remarkable renaissance in the
academic study of the history of the Jews in Great Britain and of
their impact upon British history. In this volume, Professor
Geoffrey Alderman presents essays that reflect the richness of this
renaissance, penned by a new generation of British and American
scholars who are uninhibited by considerations of communal image
and public obligation that once exercised a powerful influence on
Anglo-Jewish historiography. History does not have lessons, says
Alderman, but it may provide signposts, and he adds that in the
case of the essays presented here 'I believe there is one signpost
that we would all do well to ponder: in multicultural Britain
hard-working immigrants may be welcome, or they may be feared - or
both. They are destined to remain not quite British, and, for
better or worse, they are destined to bequeath this otherness to
the generations that follow them'.
