ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in preceding chapters of this book. The book brings together case studies of Jewish artists across the Anglophone countries. Each country has had a changing definition of whiteness, and blackness, across the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. And each country has a different socio-political order related to a specific ethno-racial ordering. In the United States, being positioned between the ideologically driven binary of black and white, Jews have mediated between African-American culture and the hegemonic white American culture. In Britain, the marginalization of Jews has taken the form of their toleration, but not acceptance, in a society that has striven to exclude people identified as non-white. At the same time those same white Britons have been, and continue to be, fascinated with those people that they wish to exclude from Englishness.
