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.","brand":"Donny Gluckstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48227252633858,"sku":"9781836741756","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/0012\/8514\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c85ee918-4b5f-44d1-9991-57cbab8e308d.jpg?v=1785183894","url":"https:\/\/www.downtowncomics.ca\/products\/9781836741756","provider":"Downtown Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
