THE JEWS IN SOUTH AFRICA - A HISTORY

Blue cloth, title to the spine in gilt, 403 pages. Inscribed and signed by the one author. This copy is in very good condition.

This is a history of Jewry in South Africa from the earliest white settlement till the present time. It describes the immigration of Jews, their settlement, and their adaptation to the cultural and economic life of South Africa.

There are chapters that deal with Jewish communities in particular localities, and others that deal with more general topics such as the Zionist Movement, the immigration of Lithuanian Jews, and the relations between Jews, Boers, and Uitlanders before the South African war. An epilogue covers the period from 1910 to 1955.

In many ways, Jewish immigration to South Africa differs from that into other countries, and this is the first book to deal with the part played by Jews in South African history.
