London Jewry and London Politics 1889-1986
First Published in 1989 London Jewry and London Politics 1889-1986 is a study of the relationship between the London Jewish community, the London County Council, and the Greater London Council. Geoffrey Alderman draws on a wealth of primary and secondary material to illuminate a dialogue that began, a hundred years ago, in a mood of great optimism and co-operation, but which ended, in the early 1980s, in a welter of insults and antagonisms. Alder…

Turbulent Times: The British Jewish community today
Superficially, the Jewish experience in Great Britain is a story of practically unqualified success. The Jews are the most firmly integrated of all Britain's ethnic minorities. Speaking in June 200
The Burton Book
In the summer of 2001 a major controversy erupted following a Jewish Chronicle report (18 May 2001) that the Honorary Officers and Executive Committee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews had decided to offer for sale, at Messrs Christie's auction rooms in London, a hitherto unpublished work by the nineteenth-century explorer, writer and diplomat Sir Richard Francis Burton. In the event, and in the glare of worldwide media attention, the rese…

The defence ofshechita: Anglo-Jewry and the 'humane conditions' regulations of 1990
The institutional structure of Anglo‐Jewry has frequently been cited as a model which other religious minorities in Great Britain would do well to follow. In particular, the Chief Rabbinate and the Board of Deputies of British Jews have been offered as ideal mechanisms by which Anglo Jewry has been able to address the British state in the defence of religious freedoms and ethnic interests. An examination of the events surrounding the passage into…

The Jewish dimension in British politics since 1945
Historically, British Jews identified themselves with a left‐wing politics, reflected in their support for the Liberal party in the nineteenth century and for the Labour party in the early twentieth. Since 1945, however, qualitative evidence and quantitative data both confirm that the bulk of the British‐Jewish electorate has transferred its allegiance to the Conservative party, more especially under Mrs Thatcher's leadership. Whilst upward socia…

The Jewish vote: Time to grow up
The electoral significance of Jewish voters in Great Britain has long been recognised by politicians. Yet demonstrations of Jewish voting potential are discouraged by Jewish leaders. After 1945 an upwardly mobile but still working‐class Jewish electorate became disenchanted with the Labour Party. Conservative politicians were quick to exploit this alienation. In the 1960s and 1970s Jewish voters became substantially middle class and also substant…

The National Free Labour Association: A Case-Study of Organised Strike-Breaking in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
The origins of the British Labour Party are many and complex. They have formed the subject of innumerable works of historical scholarship and of journalism, for it is possible to tell the story equally forcefully in terms either of political theory or of personalities. But no matter how much weight may be given to the role of political ideas, and no matter how much importance one may attach to the appearance of the “right” men and women at the “r…

VI. The Railway Companies and the Growth of Trade Unionism in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
The deep-seated hostility of the railway companies of the United Kingdom to trade unionism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is well known to students of labour history. The foundations of that hostility were two-fold. Railway companies objected to the organization of their employees by outside bodies because this was felt to endanger discipline; in consequence, directors saw the growth of collective bargaining procedures as an atte…
