About the Book

This book -- an edited collection of new contributions from distinguished Australian academics -- contextualises, illuminates, and explains the contemporary politics of Australian Jewry. It critically analyses the three broad themes above through relevant case studies and source material, and situates the politics of Australian Jews through comparisons with general patterns in Australian politics, the politics of other minorities in Australia, and the politics of other Western Jewish communities. Contains a detailed appendix of Jewish Parliamentarians, 1849 to the Present.

Review :
"This is an excellent collection by some outstanding Jewish social scientists. It should be included in any Australian politics course, where studies of 'ethnic politics' are still very marginal." -- James Jupp of the Australian National University, in the Australian Journal of Political Science Volume 43, No.3.
