Neither Toleration nor Favour: The Australian Chapter of Jewish Emancipation chronicles the remarkable and largely overlooked story of how Jewish communities in colonial Australia fought for, and ultimately secured, full emancipation at a time when their counterparts in Britain and Europe were still locked in bitter political battles. Israel Getzler, Professor of History at La Trobe University, Melbourne, presents a meticulously researched account that situates Australia as a unique and progressive chapter in the broader global narrative of Jewish civil rights.\n\nGetzler argues that Australia's colonial legal and political framework, paradoxically unburdened by the deep-rooted ecclesiastical traditions of the Old World, created an environment where Jewish emancipation was achieved with remarkable swiftness and relative consensus. Drawing on archival sources and a commanding grasp of colonial social history, Getzler illustrates the interplay between liberal idealism, pragmatic frontier politics, and the determined agency of Jewish settlers themselves. Written with scholarly precision and a profound respect for the individuals whose lives shaped this history, this work raises an enduring question: what does Australia's early embrace of Jewish civic equality reveal about the true character of its founding ideals?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130931618011,"sku":"2026100007007-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/df087c65-44b0-4295-bab9-edd30f907199.png?v=1786592634","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007007-secondhand-neither-toleration-nor-favour-the-australian-chapter-of-jewish-emancipation","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
