"Chris Monaco challenges our assumptions about when, and how, Jewish politics develop in the modern world. By situating the origins of Modern Jewish politics in the early Nineteenth Century, giving a prime place to Anglo-Jewry, and demonstrating the interaction across Europe and the Atlantic, this monograph will generate a great deal of discussion and perhaps change the historiography of when modern Jewish political activism was born." –Fred Krome, University of Cincinnati , USA
“This is a detailed and well-researched…account of Jewish responses in Britain to various crises experienced by corereligionists in Europe and elsewhere.” -Sam Johnson, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
