The Road to Modern Jewish Politics : Political Tradition and Political Reconstruction in the Jewish Community of Tsarist Russia Hardback
by Eli (Lecturer in Jewish History, Lecturer in Jewish History, Tel Aviv University) Lederhandler
Part of the Studies in Jewish History series
Hardback
Description
In this innovative study, Eli Lederhandler explores the previously ignored antecedents to the political awakening of Jewish intellectuals and their break with the traditional, religion-centred culture in Tsarist Russia.
Only in the last few years have scholars begun to consider the place of politics in pre-modern Jewish society, and then only from a purely theoretical point of view.
Lederhandler's work will be the first to examine in depth the actual political functioning of a Jewish community in its relations with the non-Jewish state and with its own citizens.
