Where immigration reshaped a city and a nation. Discover the human side of a defining era.
This historical study examines the surge of aliens entering Britain and the pressures it placed on London’s East End. It weaves together parliamentary debates, official reports, and vivid case material to show how policymakers, churches, charities, and local residents faced a growing wave of newcomers at the turn of the 20th century. The narrative centers on Jewish immigrants, their communities, and the social dynamics that formed inside crowded neighborhoods and crowded ports.
The book presents key questions about migration, welfare, and national identity. It traces numbers, routes, and the lived experience of arrivals, including the obstacles they faced and the choices they made. It also analyzes the responses of authorities and charities, and the tensions between humanitarian aims and concerns about housing, work, and social cohesion.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
