{"product_id":"3430-the-radical-jewish-tradition","title":"The Radical Jewish Tradition","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Radical Jewish Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e recovers a neglected and suppressed history of Jewish resistance to oppression. 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.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"paperback","offer_id":42736108863549,"sku":"9781836741756","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ebook (US)","offer_id":42736108896317,"sku":"9781836741763","price":5.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/3869\/2669\/files\/getimage_1b639a1e-1e9e-452f-970d-4eff475e9a9e.jpg?v=1781499234","url":"https:\/\/www.versobooks.com\/en-ca\/products\/3430-the-radical-jewish-tradition","provider":"Verso","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
