Studies in Contemporary Jewry brings together for the first time scholars working in different countries and belonging to different disciplines. Regarding modern Jewish history as a part of the ethnic explosion which has had a momentous impact on 19th- and 20th-century history, the contributors to Volume III address one of the greatest questions of modern Jewish studies: to what extent is modern Jewish history unique, and to what extent have Jews acted in ways similar to those of other minorities?

The works in this volume are diverse in scope and opinion, ranging from general philosophical discourses to detailed analyses of specific events, and often reflecting the divergent ideologies and methods of the contributors.

Bringing together contributions from tweleve outstanding scholars, volume 20 of this distinguished annual demonstrates in what extremely varied - and often controversial - ways Communisim and Jewish history interacted during the so-called short twentieth century. Among the key issues examined in this volume are whether, when, and why a disproportionate number of Jews (by origin if not by belief) joined the Communist movement; how significant a role they played in that movement and in the Jewish world; what policies were pursued by the Communist regimes and parties towards the Jewish people as well as Jewish party memebers; and what impact the association - real or imagined - between Jews and Communists had on the rise of antisemitism.

Volume XXIV of the distinguished annual Studies in Contemporary Jewry explores the question of relations between Jews and Protestants in modern times. One of the four major branches of Christianity, Protestantism is perhaps the most difficult to write about; it has innumerable sects and churches within it, from the loosely organized Religious Society of Friends to the conservative Evangelicals of the Bible Belt. Different strands of Protestantism hold vastly different views on theology, social problems, and politics. These views play out in differing attitudes and relationships between mainstream Protestant churches and Jews, Judaism, and the State of Israel. In this volume, established scholars from multiple disciplines and various countries delve into these essential questions of the "Protestant-Jewish conundrum." The discussion begins with a trenchant analysis of the historical framework in which Protestant ideas towards Jews and Judaism were formed. Contributors delve into diverse topics including the attitudes of the Evangelical movement toward Jews and Israel; Protestant reactions to Mel Gibson's blockbuster ¨The Passion of the Christ.¨; German-Protestant behavior during and after Nazi era; and mainstream Protestant attitudes towards Israel and the Israeli-Arab conflict.. Taken as a whole, this compendium presents discussions and questions central to the ongoing development of Jewish-Protestant relations. Studies in Contemporary Jewry seeks to provide its readers with up-to-date and accessible scholarship on questions of interest in the general field of modern Jewish studies. Studies in Contemporary Jewry presents new approaches to the scholarly work of the latest generation of researchers working on Jewish history, sociology, demography, political science, and culture.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the question of 'whither Russia?' has been the source of ceaseless speculation both at home and abroad. In search of answers, twelve highly qualified scholars examine the complex interplay between continuity and change that has marked developments in Russia under the leadership first of Boris Yeltsin and now of Vladimir Putin. Analsying the recent past, they also peer into the country's future. In his introduction to the volume Peter Rutland asks whether we are witnessing the gradual entrenchment of parliamentary democracy, the slow return to autocracy or mere political stagnation. Restructuring Post-Communist Russia poses the fundamental questions while providing the information and analysis needed to give the (at least, preliminary) answers.
Vladimir Akimov on the Dilemmas of Russian Marxism 1895-1903

Vladimir Akimov was the leading spokesman for the 'Economists' in Russia in the early twentieth century. This group of Marxists rebelled in 1898 against Plekkanov, causing within the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party a schism which preceded the major split between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks in 1903. The two major works of Akimov included in this edition have not been republished since 1969. The first is an analysis of the Party Programme inspired by Plekkanov and Lenin as editors of Iskra. The second is a history of the Russian Marxist movement from the early 1890s to Akimov's day. This was the first history of the movement ever published. Dr Frankel has annotated the texts and provided an important introduction, tracing in general terms the development of Russian Marxism up to 1898 and describing in greater detail the forces which caused the dispute between Plakkanov and Lenin and the 'Economists'.

This collection of essays examines the politicization and the politics of the Jewish people in the Russian empire during the late tsarist period. The focal point is the Russian revolution of 1905, when the political mobilization of the Jewish youth took on massive proportions, producing a cohort of radicalized activists - committed to socialism, nationalism, or both - who would exert an extraordinary influence on Jewish history in the twentieth-century in Eastern Europe, the United States, and Palestine. Frankel describes the dynamics of 1905 and the leading role of the intelligentsia as revolutionaries, ideologues, and observers. But, elsewhere, he also looks backwards to the emergent stage of modern Jewish politics in both Russia and the West and forward to the part played by the veterans of 1905 in Palestine and the United States.

In the period from 1881 to 1917 socialist movements flourished in every major centre of Russian Jewish life, but, despite common foundations, there was often profound and bitter disagreement between them. This book describes the formation and evolution of these movements, which were at once united by a powerful vision and sundered by the contradictions of practical politics.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 continues to be a subject of most intense controversy; and the fundamental questions which have divided observers over the last seventy years still stir fierce debate. In this volume, eighteen leading specialists from different generations, countries and schools of thought, re-examine the key issues and events of that crucial year. Some of the articles examine the unfolding crisis 'from below', describing developments in specific localities or organisations: others put the emphasis on the view as seen 'from above', on Lenin as leader of the Bolshevik party and of the emergent Soviet states. Other contributors explore the roles played by the officer corps, the industrialists, the peasants, the factory workers and the Soviets as well as the part of the Press and the different nationalities. Never before has so comprehensive a selection of original essays on 1917, written in the West, been collected in one volume.

In February 1840, an Italian monk and his servant disappeared in Damascus. Many Jews in that city were charged with ritual murder and tortured until they confessed. The case turned into a cause célèbre across much of the western world, even becoming a factor in the major diplomatic conflicts of the period, and produced an explosion of polemics, fantastic theories, and strange projects. The religious revival and romanticism of the period provided fertile soil for every speculation. This 1997 book, the first since 1840 to analyse the affair, assesses the Damascus affair as a factor in European and Jewish politics of the time, as a chapter in Jewish history and historiography, and as the stuff of radically conflicting myths - myths which eventually fed into the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel.

The early and middle decades of the nineteenth century in Europe (1815-81) have long been regarded as the major period of assimilation in post-medieval Jewish history. Moreover the established historiography dealing with those years has tended to focus on the processes of accommodation and communal disintegration. However, the historical processes as analysed in this collection of essays emerge as multi- rather than uni-directional, far more variegated and complex than usually described hitherto. Contradictory trends were associated with different localities, levels of development and ideological allegiances. Traditional loyalties, new socio-ethnic structures, communal cohesion, romantic rediscoveries of the past and the political solidarity engendered by the struggle for emancipation across Europe, all served to counterbalance the homogenizing forces of modernity. Bringing together the work of fourteen leading historians, this book represents a major contribution to the revision, which has gained momentum in recent years, of the traditional historiography.

Insiders and Outsiders: Dilemmas of East European Jewry examines problems ofJewish cultural and political orientations, associations, andself-identification within a broad framework. The contributors approach thepredicament of east European Jews in various settings: some focus primarily onthe Jews' inner development and outlook, while others discuss how elements ofthe majority society viewed their presence. Scholars of history, art history,and literature display originality and insight in illuminating the nuances andintricacies of the Jewish ‘outsider’.Following an overview by the distinguished intellectual historianof German Jewry Steven Aschheim, who offers some comprehensive thoughts on theinsider/outsider dilemma in modern times and its relevance to eastern Europe,the discussion evolves around three major themes: the cultural conundrum; modesof acculturation, assimilation, and identity; and the minority’s inclusion inor exclusion from the political agendas of certain east European societies. Itconcludes with a focus on two remarkable cities―Czernowitz and Vilnius―wherethe Jewish minority has often been conceived as being no less ‘inside’ thanother groups.Contributors to the ‘cultural conundrum’ section deal with artistsand writers from Romania and Poland who have gained wide public and criticalattention over the years, including Reuven Rubin, Itzik Manger, Avot Yeshurun,and Mihail Sebastian. Other essays discuss the work of a group of writers fromPoland, including Henryk Grynberg, Wilhelm Dichter, Joanna Olczak-Ronikier,Krzysztof Teodor Toeplitz, and Michal Glowinski, who reflected intensively ontheir experiences as Jews in the Second World War and tried to integrate theseexperiences into their often fractured identities. The complex personalevolution of these figures shows the multi-layered influences on theircreativity and imagination, while underscoring the dilemmas they faced to findpoints of meeting between their Jewish background and their national identity.The section on modes of acculturation, assimilation, and identityoffers detailed analyses of the ways in which multi-ethnic and multi-nationalsituations demand that the ‘outsider’, consciously or unconsciously, developinner strategies to fashion a specific identity. Surveying such vibrant areasas Czechoslovakia and Poland between the two world wars and the city of Lwów inthe late nineteenth century, three essays present some of the choices Jews madein order to deal with the changing political and cultural context. Theirmeditations on belonging and not-belonging―onthe constitution of identity and its fluidity, and on the formation, breakdown,and reconfiguration of physical, mental, social, and geographicalborders―acquire a special relevance and urgency in these settings.How did Jews as ‘outsiders’ configure their political allegiance ineastern Europe? How prominent were they in the radical elements of thecommunist movement in Russia? What tactics did they employ to safeguard theirfuture in such societies and what means did they employ to galvanize the‘Jewish street’? These are some of the questions raised in the section onsociety and politics, which delves into such problematic terrain as ‘Jewishinformers’, the ‘non-Jewish Jew’, and ‘Jewish politics’.The concluding essays examine thetensions, paradoxes, and ironies of the phenomenon of the Jewish outsider inCzernowitz and Vilnius, two cities where, indeed, Jews were often construed tobe the true ‘insiders’.CONTRIBUTORS: Steven E.
