This book examines the ways in which questions of identity, belonging, and exclusion have been explored in British children's literature in relation to Jews, demonstrating that literature for young people has engaged actively in a discourse that seeks to establish the place of Jews in Britain. Chapters on gender, refugees, multiculturalism, and historical fiction explore the often politicized nature of constructions of Jews and Jewishness that have been influenced by the impact of the Enlightenment, the Empire, the Holocaust, and 9/11.
