Abstract
The Jewish contribution to the politics of the left has always been complex, sometimes contradictory and often of fundamental importance. Labour's current crisis is one more phase in a close and chequered relationship.
Left-leaning Jews have always been a minority within the Jewish community. But left-wing Jews were often at the heart of "left" politics, whether "left" is defined as anarchist, communist or social democratic. Anarchist activism and communist success are history, and the social democratic tendency is in crisis. However, the rise and fall of revolutionary Jewish politics may have lessons for the future.
A new volume of essays, A Vanished Ideology, edited by Matthew Hoffman and Henry Srebrnik, throws fresh light on the history of the Jewish Communist movement in the Anglophone world; while Philip Mendes's recent volume, Jews and the Left (2014), illuminates Jewish involvement across the range of left politics.
