This work represents the definitive account of the Jewish community
in central Africa. It tells the story of the coming of the first
Jews to the area in the late 19th century, the heyday of the Jewish
community in the mid-20th century, and its decline since Zambian
independence. Dealing primarily with the Jewish traders in Zambia
who flourished in the face of both anti-semitism and their own
acute social dislocation, Macmillan explores a number of
interrelated topics: the colonial office discussions about Jewish
immigration in the 1930s, the attempts to settle refugees in Africa
by both pro- and anti-semites, Jewish religious life in the region,
and the remarkable cultural and professional role played by the
Jewish settlers. Setting these issues in the context of a general
history of southern and central Africa, this book constitutes a
major contribution to our understanding of the economic history of
the entire region. It will be of interest to both historians of
Africa and anyone concerned with economic development, identity and
immigrant communities.
