Author(s) Rodney Gouttman AbstractBook Review: Nathan Rotenstreich once defined the 'Jewish Problem' as simply 'the relationship between Jews and the surrounding world.' It is a rubric which concerns the fate of 'the Jews' in the nations of their domicile, and which relates to the state and quality of their physical, metaphysical, communal, and national existence. It follows that anyone seeking to understand the nature of the Jewish experience in Australia, must come to grips with the uniqueness of the cultural ambience in which it developed. While no one book can be expected to supply this, Stephen Alomes' A Nation At Last? - The Changing Character of Australian Nationalism 1880-1988 does raise issues which must be faced by any historian of the Australian Kehilla.
