- Originating as an AHRC doctoral project, this evolved through 10 years of research. It is the first book-length study applying a spatial approach to the migration of Eastern Europe Jews to Britain. It considers mass Jewish migration in the decades before the Aliens Act (1905), tracking responses to migrants from the shtetls of Eastern Europe to London’s East End. It utilises a diverse body of sources, ranging from novels to maps, newspaper cartoons and journalistic accounts, to travel narratives and parliamentary debates. It has significance for the historiography of modern Britain, Jewish/non-Jewish relations, and trans-national and migration histories.
