Description
"This book is, in the first place, a record of the substantial achievements of Sir Sidney Hamburger in the Jewish community of Manchester, the City of Salford and the North-West region and the 'second generation'.". "It is also a study of leadership in provincial Anglo-Jewry. The book argues that civic eminence was the essential ingredient of a communal leadership through which the community managed its power relations with the gentile city. It seeks in other ways to suggest the manner in which the Jewishness of a civic leader influenced the ways in which he saw and exercised his secular authority. In this sense, it contributes to the more general history of minority societies in Britain, suggesting ways in which leadership emerges within them and in which they come to terms with the power vested in the majority society."--BOOK JACKET.
