Abstract

The New Era examines American thought and culture in the 1920's through the eyes of a generation of American intellectuals who became tribunes of openness, experimentation, and tolerance. The book tracks the emergence of a new set of arguments and debates-over women's roles, sex, mass culture, the national character, ethnic identity, race, democracy, religion, and values-that would define American public life for the next fifty years.

Abstract

"In the elegant capital city of Warsaw, the editor Mieczyslaw Grydzewski would come with his two dachshunds to a café called Ziemianska." Thus begins the history of a generation of Polish literati born at the fin de siècle. They sat in Café Ziemianska and believed that the world moved on what they said there. Caviar and Ashes tells the story of the young avant-gardists of the early 1920's who became the radical Marxists of the late 1920's. They made the choice for Marxism before Stalinism, before socialist realism, before Marxism meant the imposition of Soviet communism in Poland. It ended tragically. Marci Shore begins with this generation's coming of age after the First World War and narrates a half-century-long journey through futurist manifestos and proletarian poetry, Stalinist terror and Nazi genocide, a journey from the literary cafés to the cells of prisons and the corridors of power. Using newly available archival materials from Poland and Russia, as well as from Ukraine and Israel, Shore explores what it meant to live Marxism as a European, an East European, and a Jewish intellectual in the twentieth century.

Abstract

Bayern als "Ordnungszelle" gepriesen oder als Hort der Reaktion und Zuflucht rechtsradikaler Abenteuer verschrieen, bildete die politisch wohl interessanteste Landschaft der Weimarer Republik. Ein Konglomerat von vielfältigen politischen, gesellschaftlichen und regionalen Interessen bot Zündstoff für zahlreiche Konflikte zwischen Bayern und dem Reich. Die Angst des konservativen Bürgertums vor der Herrschaft des Bolschewismus - schon die Koalition mit sozialdemokratischer Beteiligung im Reich oder in Preußen war ein Schreckgespenst - war so chronisch wie der Missmut bayerischer Politiker gegenüber Gesetzen und Verordnungen aus Berlin. In der hier veröffentlichten, bisher kaum bekannten Quelle kommt ein Beobachter der Münchener politischen Szene zu Wort, dessen Beruf es war, den Motiven und Hintergründen bayerischer Politik nachzuspüren. Der württembergische Gesandte Moser von Filseck, von 1906-1933 ununterbrochen auf seinem Münchener Posten, verzeichnete täglich alles Wissenswerte und berichtete darüber präzise und leidenschaftslos. Sein amtlicher und gesellschaftlicher Status erschloss ihm wichtige Informationsquellen. Der besondere Reiz und die Bedeutung der Gesandtschaftsberichte liegen darin, dass sich in ihnen die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Kräfte spiegeln, die wesentlich die Politik in Bayern der Weimarer Republik bestimmten: vaterländische Verbände, monarchische Vereine, ultrakonservative und rechtsradikale Gruppierungen bis hin zu Hitlers NSDAP, deren Aufstieg Moser von Filseck von Anfang an verfolgte - alles in allem ein authentisches Bild der gesellschaftlichen und psychologischen Struktur Bayerns in den Jahren, in denen die Politik, die in München gemacht wurde, nicht nur für Bayern allein bestimmend gewesen war. Diese Auswahl der wichtigsten Berichte ist deshalb nicht zuletzt auch ein Beitrag zur deutschen Geschichte der Weimarer Zeit.

Abstract

This book is a concise guide to and analysis of the complexities of modern Jewish politics in the interwar European and American diaspora. ""Jewish politics"" refers to the different and opposing visions of the Jewish future as formulated by various Jewish political parties and organizations and their efforts to implement their programs and thereby solve the ""Jewish question."" Mendelsohn begins by attempting a typology of these Jewish political parties and organizations, dividing them into a number of schools or ""camps."" He then suggests a ""geography"" of Jewish politics by locating the c
