During an academic career spanning forty years he has produced some of the most authoritative and controversial studies in this field, lighting up the dark corners of the Jewish existence in Great Britain and revealing secrets the Anglo-Jewish communities would rather have kept from public view. In Controversy and Crisis, Alderman presents sixteen of these essays, covering fields as disparate as the history of the Jewish vote in the UK, the true story of the British Chief Rabbinate, and the uneasy tenure of Sir Jonathan Sacks in that office. He also considers the role of the historian in Anglo-Jewish life, and the troubled careers of some of its leaders and scholars. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs 606 $aJudaism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a941/.004924 700 $aAlderman$b Geoffrey$01468114 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781844903321 996 $aControversy and crisis$93679113 997 $aUNINA
