East End Jewish Radicals 1875-1914 - Softcover

An immensily readable work. It should attract a large and enthusiastic audience. --Paul Avrich

An extraordinary period described by an inspired storyteller --Arnold Wesker

East End Jewish Radicals is essential reading for anyone interested in Victorian and Edwardian London, social and labour history, and Jewish and migrant history in this country.
Professor William Fishman describes London's East End at a time of mass immigration from Eastern Europe to the shabby tenements of Stepney and Whitechapel. This was the birthplace of the Jewish socialist and libertarian movement. He brings alive a forgotten and fascinating part of London history.
