Table of ContentsContents: Constructing Communal Identity: Irish Jewish Myths of Origin – Constructing Community: ‘Natives’, ‘Foreigners’ and the Resurrection of Irish Jewry – ‘An Excess of Zeal’: Conflict and Community – Infrastructure and Identity: Charity, Self- help and Intracommunal Relations – An ‘Acharacteristic and Atypical Episode’? Towards a Critical Jewish Historiography of the Limerick Boycott – Becoming Irish? Jewish/ non- Jewish Relations in the Irish Setting*.ReviewsNatalie Wynn has written a definitive account of Irish Jewish history in the period of mass migration at the turn of the twentieth century. She unravels the myths—such as accidental arrival from Eastern Europe, or untroubled social mobility as a model minority—which have hitherto characterized Irish Jews. Community, Identity, Conflict moves from detailed studies of local communities (Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick) to the metropolitan and colonial contexts of minority formation. As Dr Wynn adeptly shows, the everyday ambivalence towards minorities in Irish culture is a centuries-old history which is still present today. Her meticulous and compelling study will be of value to Irish studies, Jewish studies, and anyone interested in the life experience of refugees.
