Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of modern intellectual history to the culture wars of the present day, the experience of assimilating Jews and the idiom of "culture" have been fundamentally intertwined with each other. Freedman's book begins by looking at images of the stereotypical Jew in the literary culture of nineteenth- and twentieth-century England and America, and then considers the efforts on the part of Jewish critics and intellectuals to counter this image in the public sphere. It explores the unexpected parallels and ironic reversals between a cultural dispensation that had ambivalent responses to Jews and Jews who became exponents of that very tradition.
Download or read book Jews and Gentiles written by Rachel Jakobowicz and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses German writers' antisemitism, as well as defense of Jews and of their emancipation, in the transition period between the Enlightenment and the post-Napoleonic reaction, using as examples the correspondence between the pro-emancipation Wilhelm von Humboldt and his antisemitic wife, Caroline; of the philosemitic Bettine von Arnim with her brother, Clemens Brentano, and her husband, Achim von Arnim, both antisemites; and of Rahel Varnhagen, describing her suffering due to her Jewish identity and her distress at rising antisemitism. Examines Enlightenment drama which portrayed both wicked and noble Jews (but more of the latter). In contrast, popular farces of the early 19th century, especially "Unser Verkehr" by Karl B.A. Sessa and the plays of Julius von Voss, present stereotypes ridiculing the Jews, especially Jewish attempts at assimilation, and also hint at the danger of Jews to society. Relates to the Jewish villains in the novellas and fairy tales of Brentano and von Arnim, who were also founding members of the antisemitic Christlich-deutsche Tischgesellschaft. Discusses, as well, Jewish dramatists' protests against discrimination in plays purportedly dealing with other oppressed minorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An original and brilliant thesis, exposing a long misunderstood figure. A great book." -- Bernard Avishai "Excellent... a highly revealing portrait that demolishes Herzl-the-icon." -- Michael Marrus "Other biographers... have illuminated aspects of [Herzl's] life, but none has been able to produce the kind of intellectual biography that we have here. Jacques Kornberg has done an admirable job of plumbing the depths of Herzl's mind to try to come to an understanding of just why he became a Zionist and why he was literally consumed with promoting Zionist goals." -- Cithara "With compassion and critical balance, placing his subject well within his Austrian milieu, Kornberg analyzes Herzl's rhetoric, tergiversations, and profound ambivalence over his politics and identity."Â -- Choice "... a masterful display of the sources... " -- American Historical Review "... stimulating, provocative and agreeably iconoclastic... powerful and compelling." -- German History A novel and provocative explanation of Theodor Herzl's founding of Zionism as a way of resolving his personal crisis over his Jewish identity.

Download or read book The Politics of Nonassimilation written by David Verbeeten and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the twentieth century, Eastern European Jews in the United States developed a left-wing political tradition. Their political preferences went against a fairly broad correlation between upward mobility and increased conservatism or Republican partisanship. Many scholars have sought to explain this phenomenon by invoking antisemitism, an early working-class experience, or a desire to integrate into a universal social order. In this original study, David Verbeeten instead focuses on the ways in which left-wing ideologies and movements helped to mediate and preserve Jewish identity in the context of modern tendencies toward bourgeois assimilation and ethnic dissolution. Verbeeten pursues this line of inquiry through case studies that highlight the political activities and aspirations of three "generations" of American Jews. The life of Alexander Bittelman provides a lens to examine the first generation. Born in Ukraine in 1892, Bittelman moved to New York City in 1912 and went on to become a founder of the American Communist Party after World War I. Verbeeten explores the second generation by way of the American Jewish Congress, which came together in 1918 and launched significant campaigns against discrimination within civil society before, during, and especially after World War II. Finally, he considers the third generation in relation to the activist group New Jewish Agenda, which operated from 1980 to 1992 and was known for its advocacy of progressive causes and its criticism of particular Israeli governments and policies. By focusing on individuals and organizations that have not previously been subjects of extensive investigation, Verbeeten contributes original research to the fields of American, Jewish, intellectual, and radical history. His insightful study will appeal to specialists and general readers interested in those areas.

Download or read book The Politics of Inclusion and Exclusion written by David Ericson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing the limits of pluralism, this book examines different types of political inclusion and exclusion and their distinctive dimensions and dynamics. Why are particular social groups excluded from equal participation in political processes? How do these groups become more fully included as equal participants? Often, the critical issue is not whether a group is included but how it is included. Collectively, these essays elucidate a wide range of inclusion or exclusion: voting participation, representation in legislative assemblies, representation of group interests in processes of policy formation and implementation, and participation in discursive processes of policy framing. Covering broad territory—from African Americans to Asian Americans, the transgendered to the disabled, and Latinos to Native Americans—this volume examines in depth the give and take between how policies shape political configuration and how politics shape policy. At a more fundamental level, Ericson and his contributors raise some traditional and some not-so-traditional issues about the nature of democratic politics in settings with a multitude of group identities.
Download or read book Socialism and the Jews written by Robert S. Wistrich and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the role of the "Jewish question" in the politics of the German and Austrian Social Democratic parties before 1914. Socialism was not immune to antisemitism, and early socialists were ambivalent regarding the issue of Jewish emancipation. German Social Democracy parted ways with antisemitism only in the 1880s. At the same time, it tended to downplay antisemitism as a transitory phenomenon doomed to disappear. In the 1890s, on the wave of the "völkisch" movement, it even noted a revolutionary, anti-capitalist potential for antisemitism. While opposing antisemitism, the party did not want to appear as philosemitic. In Austria, populist antisemitism (e.g. that of Schönerer and Lueger) was more influential. It was only after Lueger's victory in Vienna that the Social Democrats altered their policy and attacked the Christian Socialists as a reactionary movement; to this end, they also used antisemitic arguments. As in Germany, Austrian Social Democrats tried to remain "neutral" toward antisemitism. In both Germany and Austria, the Social Democrats consistently denied that Jews constitute a nation and opposed all Jewish national movements.
