Sinopsis

In this book, Dr. Anthony Nicholls uses a series of in-depth interviews toáinvestigate how young Jews talk about their Jewishness, Britishness, andámasculinity. From his analysis, he argues that Jewishness is constructed betweenáadherence to halachic requirement on one hand, and Jewishness experienced asácultural affinity to history, family, and tradition without recourse to halacha onáthe other hand. He further argues that Britishness is experienced betweenávarying degrees of nationalistic localism against cosmopolitan liberalism playedáout against a backdrop of Britain contrasted with the rest of the world, and alsoáLondon against the rest of Britain. Nicholls rejects the view that masculinity isáconstructed in the inherently unstable terms of physicality against intellectualism.áInstead, he argues that it is better considered as lying in a range betweenácompetitive hegemonic masculinity and a cooperative model with whicháphysicality and intellectualism combine to produce a more stable and emotionallyásatisfying mode of living.
