Paperback. Condición: As New. This innovative collection of essays on the upsurge of antisemitism across Europe in the decades around 1900 shifts the focus away from intellectuals and well-known incidents to less-familiar events, actors, and locations, including smaller towns and villages. This "from below" perspective offers a new look at a much-studied phenomenon: essays link provincial violence and antisemitic politics with regional, state, and even transnational trends. Featuring a diverse array of geographies that include Great Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Romania, Italy, Greece, and the Russian Empire, the book demonstrates the complex interplay of many factors-economic, religious, political, and personal-that led people to attack their Jewish neighbors.

Berkeley, Univ. of California Press, 2000. XIV, 311 pp. Good copy. Orig. halfcloth with dustjacket. With a keen eye for revealing details, Hillel J. Kieval examines the contours and distinctive features of Jewish experience in the lands of Bohemia and Moravia (the present-day Czech Republic), from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth century. In the Czech lands, Kieval writes, Jews have felt the need constantly to define and articulate the nature of group identity, cultural loyalty, memory, and social cohesiveness, and the period of "modernizing" absolutism, which began in 1780, brought changes of enormous significance. From that time forward, new relationships with Gentile society and with the culture of the state blurred the traditional outlines of community and individual identity. Kieval navigates skillfully among histories and myths as well as demography, biography, culture, and politics, illuminating the maze of allegiances and alliances that have molded the Jewish experience during these 200 years.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. Spolecnost a kultura v ceskych zemich prochazely na prelomu 19. stoleti promenami, jez navzdy zmenily podobu ceskeho Zidovstva. Nasledkem vyostreneho etnickeho nacionalismu, urbanismu, demografickych tlaku a menicich se vyhlidek na integraci byla druha zidovska modernizace, jez vedla ke dvema velkym experimentum - k ceskozidovskemu hnuti a prazskemu sionismu.Tato dve hnuti, ackoliv podstatne protichudna, si byla v nekterych ohledech pozoruhodne podobna a obe se povazovala za nejlepsiho prostrednika zidovske integrace do narodne vypjateho, znacne hasteriveho evropskeho prostredi.Autor sleduje osudy techto dvou hnuti, ukazuje, jak pusobily jako ukazatele smeru, jakymi se zidovska kulturni adaptace bude ubirat v prvnich letech nove ceskoslovenske republiky, a jaky rozhodujici vliv mel narodnostni konflikt na formulaci zidovskych postoju a na chovani Zidu ve dvacatem stoleti. V techto prvnich modernich dejinach ceskeho Zidovstva zkouma autor postemancipacni, postindustrialni svet ceske zidovske spolecnosti a polemizuje s prevladajici predstavou o prazskem a ceskem Zidovstvu jako baste nemecke kultury a politickeho liberalismu v nepratelskem slovanskem svete.

Hardback. Condición: New. Prague's magnificent synagogues and Old Jewish Cemetery attract millions of visitors each year, and travelers who venture beyond the capital find physical evidence of once vibrant Jewish communities in towns and villages throughout today's Czech Republic. For those seeking to learn more about the people who once lived and died at those sites, however, there has until now been no comprehensive account in English of the region's Jews. Prague and Beyond presents a new and accessible history of the Jews of the Bohemian Lands written by an international team of scholars. It offers a multifaceted account of the Jewish people in a region that has been, over the centuries, a part of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy, was constituted as the democratic Czechoslovakia in the years following the First World War, became the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and later a postwar Communist state, and is today's Czech Republic. This ever-changing landscape provides the backdrop for a historical reinterpretation that emphasizes the rootedness of Jews in the Bohemian Lands, the intricate variety of their social, economic, and cultural relationships, their negotiations with state power, the connections that existed among Jewish communities, and the close, if often conflictual, ties between Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors. Prague and Beyond is written in a narrative style with a focus on several unifying themes across the periods. These include migration and mobility; the shape of social networks; religious life and education; civic rights, citizenship, and Jewish autonomy; gender and the family; popular culture; and memory and commemorative practices. Collectively these perspectives work to revise conventional understandings of Central Europe's Jewish past and present, and more fully capture the diversity and multivalence of life in the Bohemian Lands.
