'The Jew' in Late-Victorian and Edwardian Culture: Between the East End and East Africa - Hardcover

by E. Bar-Yosef (Editor), N. Valman (Editor)

The turbulent period from the Boer War to the introduction of the Aliens Act was marked by contradictory imaginings of 'the Jew' - pauper/capitalist, separatist/imposter, ideal colonizer/undesirable immigrant, familiar/alien. This new collection considers the wider colonial context in which these ambivalent attitudes to Jews were produced.
