This study examines the Jewish identity of teenagers growing up as both British and Jewish. While these young people all have an 'ethnic' identity they are unmarked by colour and are able to 'pass' if they so wish. Bhabha (2004) suggests that members of ethnic communities have a 'hybrid' identity, one where elements from each culture continually interact to produce a new cultural form - an amalgam. However, if individuals do not look different, are not economically or socially oppressed; if this does not occur within a situation of colonialism and resistance, does this still hold true? Various theories of 'Identity' are examined together with substantive studies of the British-Jewish community. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with teenagers (age 16-18years) and parents, as well as two focus groups with parents who were members of Reform Synagogues. The young people lived in two cities outside the main centre of British Jewish community in London. None attended Jewish Secondary schools, so that they were living their lives mainly within a British environment, often with only limited interaction with the Jewish community outside their own family - that is in 'Jewish isolation'. Using the work of Jenkins, who draws on that of Frederik Barth, the data from these young people is examined to see where the boundaries are between their identity as 'Jewish' and their identity as 'British'. The points at which there are discontinuities between these boundaries allow us to see the shape of these identities. An alternative model of identity for ethnic groups who are not marked by colour or oppression is proposed, the chimera. Rather than seeing their dual identity as an amalgam, this sees it as composed of different elements, each of which can be drawn on in different situations. The young people have the cultural resources which allow them to be full members of both their ethnic communities.
