Fighting oppression and exploitation took numerous political forms, including left Zionism, Bundism and revolutionary Marxism. This inspiring radical tradition was ultimately checked by the callous indifference of capitalist governments to refugees and the horror of Auschwitz. However, its lessons must be passed on to inform working-class and anti-imperialist struggles in a world in crisis.This book recovers some of that long-neglected history. Before the Second World War, the majority of Jews were working-class and part of a wider struggle alongside their non-Jewish comrades on the left. To illuminate this background, the issue of Jewish identity is analysed along political, cultural and sociological lines. This is essential because, today, the claim of Israel and its apologists to represent Jews everywhere, the growth of the antisemitic far right and the approach of the left to the Jewish question are central issues. A knowledge of the breadth of Jewish resistance aids understanding of these debates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836741756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Donny Gluckstein,Janey Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52379428618421,"sku":"9781836741756","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7c11d26c-567c-4511-ab67-7188fc9c545e.jpg?v=1774372853","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-radical-jewish-tradition-revolutionaries-resistance-fighters-and-firebrands-9781836741756","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
