The first book-length study of contemporary British Jewry ,
Turbulent Times: The British Jewish Community Today examines the changing nature of the British Jewish community and its leadership since 1990.
Keith Kahn-Harris and Ben Gidley contend that there has been a shift within Jewish communal discourse from a strategy of security, which emphasized Anglo-Jewry”s secure British belonging and citizenship, to a
strategy of insecurity, which emphasizes the dangers and threats Jews face individually and communally. This shift is part of a process of renewal in the community that has led to something of a ”Jewish renaissance” in Britain.
Addressing key questions on the transitions in the history of Anglo-Jewish community and leadership, and tackling the concept of the ”new antisemitism”, this important and timely study addresses the question: how has UK Jewry adapted from a shift from monoculturalism to multiculturalism?
