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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is a story central to the socialist movement as well as an ob­ject lesson for all those struggling to resist.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891399540887,"sku":"9781836741756","price":1932.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781836741756.webp?v=1781183569","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-radical-jewish-tradition-revolutionaries-resistance-fighters-and-firebrands-9781836741756","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
