DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Spanning the past two centuries, this book explores the fascinating role played by this small but highly significant community in the economic. political, social and cultural life of this country. This richly illustrated story -- the first comprehensive history to appear in over 50 years -- includes a wide range of historically important photographs, many long unseen, and encompasses a broad swathe of Jewish life, from the bimoh and the boardroom to the bowling green. Beginning with the first Jewish immigrants to South Africa, and depicting the fragility of the early foundations and the shifting fortunes of this infant community, the book traces its development to robust maturity amidst turbulent social and political currents. These include the strident anti-semitism of the 1930s, the moral dilemmas of the apartheid era, the subsequent turbulent transition towards a non--racial democracy, the birth of the New South Africa and the fresh challenges and promise that have followed in its wake up to the present day. Included are such personalities as Barney Barnato, Helen Suzman, Joe Slovo, Sol Kerzner and Rabbi Cyril Harris, as well as many others who have made an important mark in their fields. This book will be of great interest to every member of the Jewish community living both in South Africa and in their adoptive countries, as well as to all wishing to learn more about this highly energetic and innovative community whose contribution in many spheres of life has so greatly influenced and enriched the history of South Africa.

Connecting the Jewish experience with colonialism to mobility and exchange, diaspora, internationalism, racial discrimination, and Zionism, the volume presents the work of Jewish historians who recognize the challenge that colonialism brings to their work and sheds light on the diverse topics that reflect the myriad ways that Jews engaged with empire in modern times. Taken together, these essays reveal the interpretive power of the "Imperial Turn" and present a rethinking of the history of Jews in colonial societies in light of postcolonial critiques and destabilized categories of analysis. A provocative discussion forum about Zionism as colonialism is also included.
