Book excerpt: "Between 1881 and 1914, London's East End became the refuge of thousands of Jews driven from Russia by the pogroms; the shabby tenements of Whitechapel and Stepney were turned into sweatshops, in which men and women laboured under appalling conditions. Some of the immigrants had belonged to the radical intelligensia before their flight from the Tsarist police, and this book describes their struggle to politicise and unite the Jewish workers - one of the most fascinating, yet neglected, chapters in labour history."--Jacket
