This is the first study of the integration of Jewish immigrants,
from eastern and central Europe, into Scotland and places Scottish
Jewish history in context. The book looks at aspects of their
immigration and integration into Scottish society, namely: the
reaction of the native population and the Jewish responses; the
education of immigrant children; the participation of Jews in the
Glasgow economy; their participation in the political and the arts
world; and changes in Jewish organisations, religious habits and
lifestyle. A special chapter is devoted to post-1945 developments
bringing the history of the Jews in Glasgow up to the present day.
The final chapter compares the Jewish experience in Glasgow to that
of other Jews in English cities and to the experience of other
immigrants in Glasgow such as the Irish, Italians, Germans and
Asians and brings out what was and is distinctive about Glasgow and
Scotland.
