Since 2002 its prestigious flagship "Comment" column has been written by Oxford-educated Dr. Geoffrey Alderman, the leading authority on the Jews of modern Britain, a prolific and controversial scholar whose views have attracted warm support and sweeping condemnation in equal measure. This anthology brings together over a hundred of his Jewish Chronicle op-eds on subjects as diverse as Jewish Orthodoxy, Ultra-Orthodoxy, Non-Orthodoxy, Islamic Judeophobia, Islamophobia and Jewish approaches to politics and sex. "I have tried to be funny," Alderman declares, "when occasion has seemed to me to warrant the deployment of a certain humour, which can be a valuable didactic tool and a powerful medium of communication. I have on occasion employed sarcasm and irony. But I have always tried to be scrupulously accurate as to facts, and to locate my comment within that groundwork. Above all, true to my vocation as a rebel who has refused to toe the communal line, I have always presented a point of view that is unashamedly mine." 517 3 $aCommunal gadfly :$eJews, British Jews and the Jewish state : asking the subversive questions, an anthology 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y21st century 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y21st century 606 $aJudaism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJudaism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aGreat Britain$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a305.892/4041 700 $aAlderman$b Geoffrey$01468114 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781842203321 996 $aThe communal gadfly$93679088 997 $aUNINA
