Jew BoyLawrence & Wishart, 1986 - 348 pàgines Alec is a Jewish tailor working in the sweatshops of 1930s Whitechapel. He is weary of the stifling poverty and his Jewish bosses exploiting his labour. Rejecting the pull of Zionism, Alec instead chooses a unity that crosses racial and religious boundaries, finding his salvation in socialist politics and the arms of a gentile. |
