"I Remain an Irishman...and a Jew:" Conflicting Identities of Ireland's Jewish Politicians

Abstract

rich legacies the autobiographies of three Jewish-Irish the of Me Chaim Herzog’s Living History (1996), and Alan Shatter’s Life is a Funny Business (2017). While the three men have distinctly different relationships with their faith and with Ireland, all three reveal in their autobiographies the intricate balance between these two allegiances, and how they attempt to reconcile their two identities.
