Extract

While this book may have emerged over many decades of thinking (essentially since the summer of 1967) and writing (since my 1985 undergraduate dissertation supervised by Roland Quinault at the Polytechnic of North London on ‘The Plight of the German Community in Britain Following the Outbreak of the First World War’), I would like to thank the British Academy for providing me with a Small Grant which allowed me to complete my research by financing visits from Leicester to London during the 2016–17 academic year. I was therefore able to make use of the Bishopsgate Institute, the Black Cultural Archives, the British Library, the British Library of Political and Economic Science, the Guildhall Library, the Jewish Museum London, the London Metropolitan Archives, the National Archives, and Tower Hamlets Local History Archive. I would also like to thank Judith Garfield, who allowed me to use interviews from the Eastside Community Heritage Project, which she directs. I am grateful to the Faculty of Arts, Design and Humanities at De Montfort University, which granted me a semester free of teaching at the end of 2018 to complete the writing of this book. I would like to express special gratitude to Deborah Cartmell, the then faculty head of research and, especially, to Elizabeth Tingle, my head of school, who strongly supported this project. De Montfort University also allowed me to employ a ‘frontrunner’, a student research assistant in the form of the multi-talented Tabitha Bolam, who found many sources for me and travelled to various London repositories, while the project remained otherwise dormant. I am extremely grateful to Tabitha. I would also like to thank Gavin Schaffer of the University of Birmingham who wrote my British Academy reference. My colleague in history, Matt Taylor, head of the subject research committee at De Montfort, offered support in many ways including lending me some of his football books and helping me to formulate my ideas when considering the chapter on sport. I would like to thank Matt and my colleague Dave Dee, who lent me many Jewish memoirs and other volumes. Dave also assured me that my book was evolving well during numerous lunch discussions in the staff common room at De Montfort. Having worked with Dave from his early days as an undergraduate through to the supervision of his PhD, it feels very satisfying to receive helpful advice from a former student. At Yale University Press, Marika Lysandrou and Heather McCallum offered outstanding support and I am especially grateful to Heather for commissioning this volume. I also thank my copy-editor Richard Mason. For permission to use pictorial material I am grateful to the following: Age Fotostock; Alamy; Getty; Paul Halliday; Historic England; the London Metropolitan Archives; London Metropolitan University; and the National Portrait Gallery.
