Jewish Immigrants in London, 1880}}}1939 [Paperback]

Between 1880 and 1939, a quarter of a million European Jews settled in England. 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.

Tananbaum focuses on the local sphere of London life. (...) she provides a fresh perspective on the story of the various communal institutions which sought to improve the lives of the Jewish poor in London, covering, variously, public health, communal networks, education  both secular and religious  clubs and settlement houses, and so on.
