Collected here are sto­ries of heroism and selflessness that trace their origins to resis­tance against the nineteenth-century Tsarist Empire. These radical Jews-most of them working class-found common cause with oth­er oppressed groups. They refused to be defined as victims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis inspiring tradition was ultimately checked by the callous indif­ference of capitalist governments to refugees before the Second World War and to the Holocaust. Donny Gluckstein and Janey Stone revive this history for the benefit of a world in crisis. They consider this legacy and its impact on modern Jewish identity. At a time when a bellicose Israeli government claims to represent Jews the world over, the history of these radicals bursts the constraints placed on the historical imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is a story central to the socialist movement as well as an ob­ject lesson for all those struggling to resist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57896013627766,"sku":"9781836741756","price":21.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41350471.jpg?v=1779341215","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836741756-radical-jewish-tradition","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
