Abstract
New Under the Sunshines a critical light on Australia's Jewish community. In a range of essays from contributors such as Robert Manne, Ruth Ostrow, Arnold Zable, Andrea Goldsmith, Dorothy Porter, John Safran, Marcus Einfeld and Julie Szego, the anthology takes a snapshot of Australia's Jewish community and analyses the issues the community faces as it moves into the twenty-first century. For many years Australia's Jewish community was defined by its post Second World War migrants. These newcomers to Australia - many of whom were Holocaust survivors - set the parameters for how the community would respond to the challenges of migration, assimilation, Zionism and antisemitism.
