This volume marks the first systematic attempt to evaluate the German-Jewish experience in Britain. It covers the process of migration, including the legal and administrative problems that needed to be overcome, the patterns of settlement, the difficulties of adaptation and the two-way process of integration. The essays in this collection show both what the newcomers received from British society and what they were able to contribute. In attempting to draw up a balance sheet the evidence suggests that for both parties the movement to Britain of German-speaking Jews was an advantageous bargain neither side had cause to regret." Graded Very Good using AbeBooks' guide to book conditions. Only damage seems to be to the dust jacket, which is lightly stained, with some creases along the top edge, particularly on the spine, which has torn in a couple of places - the book itself is perfectly fine, with no tears or missing pages.
