About
The Radical Jewish Tradition recovers a neglected and suppressed history of Jewish resistance to oppression. Collected here are sto�ries of heroism and selflessness that trace their origins to resis�tance against the nineteenth-century Tsarist Empire. These radical Jews-most of them working class-found common cause with oth�er oppressed groups. They refused to be defined as victims.
This inspiring tradition was ultimately checked by the callous indif�ference 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.
Here is a story central to the socialist movement as well as an ob�ject lesson for all those struggling to resist.
