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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42753211301982,"sku":"9781836741756","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/1057\/files\/radjewtrad.jpg?v=1778438766","url":"https:\/\/shop.yiddishbookcenter.org\/products\/the-radical-jewish-tradition-revolutionaries-resistance-fighters-and-firebrands-by-donny-gluckstein-janey-stone","provider":"Yiddish Book Center Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
