Jews and Leftist Politics : Judaism, Israel, Antisemitism, and Gender Hardback
Edited by Jack Jacobs
Hardback
Description
The relationships, past and present, between Jews and the political left remain of abiding interest to both the academic community and the public.
Jews and Leftist Politics contains new and insightful chapters from world-renowned scholars and considers such matters as the political implications of Judaism; the relationships of leftists and Jews; the histories of Jews on the left in Europe, the United States, and Israel; contemporary anti-Zionism; the associations between specific Jews and Communist parties; and the importance of gendered perspectives.
It also contains fresh studies of canonical figures, including Gershom Scholem, Gustav Landauer, and Martin Buber, and examines the affiliations of Jews to prominent institutions, calling into question previous widely held assumptions.
The volume is characterized by judicious appraisals made by respected authorities, and sheds considerable light on contentious themes.
