The Loyal Jews of the British Empire: Jewish Settlers in Canada, South Africa and Australia, 1917-50

Research master thesis | History (research) (MA)

This thesis discusses the relationship between Jews in British Dominions and Jews in the Metropole, through looking at the major Jewish institutions. This thesis argues that Jewish institutions responded to their ambivalent position within British Imperial racial taxonomies through adopting a form of British identity, in order to gain access to the social and political benefits entailed by whiteness.
