Between 1880 and 1939, a quarter of a million European Jews settled in England, with many thousands more passing through on their way to America. Tananbaum explores the differing ways in which the existing Anglo-Jewish communities, local government and education and welfare organizations sought to socialize these new arrivals, focusing on the experiences of working-class women and children. She argues that Jewish women experienced the process of acculturation differently from men, and in some ways were able to assimilate more easily. By looking also across several generations, this book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of multiculturalism in Britain.
