Summary:

The Jews of South Wales reproduces in its entirety the volume published originally in 1993, aligning the work with current scholarship in the field. The book focuses on the Jewish communities in Cardiff, Swansea, and the south Wales valleys in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, looking at their everyday lives as well as more dramatic and sensational events such as the Tredegar Riots of 1911 and the 'Jewess Abduction Case' of 1867-8. A new introduction by Paul O'Leary considers scholarship on the subject that has appeared in print since the book was first published, and also discusses the polarized views about the Tredegar Riots: were the riots the result of anti-semitism, or was south Wales a philosemitic place, where the Welsh and Jewish communities had much in common?
