Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Gustav Landauers Verständnis von Nation entwickelte sich in Abgrenzung zu Nationalstaatlichkeit, Nationalismus und Ethnizität. Homogenität und Gleichmacherei im Rahmen bestehender Nationalstaaten stellte er seine libertäre Konzeption von gegenseitiger Hilfe, Gleichberechtigung und solidarischer Nachbarschaft entgegen. Staat, der für ihn nicht anderes vorstellte als Zwangsstruktur, und Nation blieben für ihn unverwechselbare Gegensätze, auf deren definitive Trennung er abzielte. Sein föderalistisches Verständnis einer nichtnationalistischen Nation sollte den abstammungszentrierten deutschen Ethnizismus ebenso ablösen wie das Konzept des westlichen Nationalstaates. Frühzeitig warnte Landauer vor dem heraufziehenden Weltkrieg. Sein konsequenter Antimilitarismus und seine unerschütterliche Kriegsgegnerschaft zielten auf die dauerhafte Abschaffung aller Armeen sowie im Kriegsfall auf Boykott, Gehorsamsverweigerung, Desertation und Massenstreik bis hin zum Generalstreik. Die Novemberrevolution 1918 bot Gustav Landauer von München aus die Chance, seinen freiheitlichen Sozialismus in einem föderalistischen und dezentralistischen Rätesystem zu verwirklichen - ein Bund autonomer, föderalistischer Republiken, basierend auf dezentralen Rätestrukturen. Im Rahmen der ersten bayerischen Räterepublik Anfang April 1919 übernahm Landauer das Amt eines Kultusministers und konnte hierbei auf ein detailliertes Konzept einer libertären Restrukturierung der Gesellschaft zurückgreifen. Schwerpunkte von Landauers Tätigkeit in der kurzlebigen Räterepublik betrafen das Schul- und Hochschulwesen sowie das Theater. Sein Engagement während der deutschen Revolution 1918/19 musste er mit seiner brutalen Ermordung seitens gegenrevolutionärer Soldaten Anfang Mai 1919 bezahlen.

Abstract

The Tragedy of a Generation is the story of the rise and fall of an ideal: an autonomous Jewish nation in Europe. It traces the origins of two influential but overlooked strains of Jewish thought-Yiddishism and Diaspora Nationalism-and documents the waning hopes and painful reassessments of their leading representatives against the rising tide of Nazism and, later, the Holocaust. Joshua M. Karlip presents three figures-Elias Tcherikower, Yisroel Efroikin, and Zelig Kalmanovitch-seen through the lens of Imperial Russia on the brink of revolution. Leaders in the struggle for recognition of the Jewish people as a national entity, these men would prove instrumental in formulating the politics of Diaspora Nationalism, a middle path that rejected both the Zionist emphasis on Palestine and the Marxist faith in class struggle. Closely allied with this ideology was Yiddishism, a movement whose adherents envisioned the Yiddish language and culture, not religious tradition, as the unifying force of Jewish identity. We follow Tcherikower, Efroikin, and Kalmanovitch as they navigate the tumultuous early decades of the twentieth century in pursuit of a Jewish national renaissance in Eastern Europe. Correcting the misconception of Yiddishism as a radically secular movement, Karlip uncovers surprising confluences between Judaism and the avowedly nonreligious forms of Jewish nationalism. An essential contribution to Jewish historiography, The Tragedy of a Generation is a probing and poignant chronicle of lives shaped by ideological conviction and tested to the limits by historical crisis.

Abstract

In the early decades of the twentieth century, tens of thousands of Yiddish speaking immigrants actively participated in the American Socialist and labor movement. They formed the milieu of the hugely successful daily Forverts (Forward), established in New York in April 1897. Its editorial columns and bylined articles—many of whose authors, such as Abraham Cahan and Sholem Asch, were household names at the time—both reflected and shaped the attitudes and values of the readership. Most pages of this book are focused on the newspaper’s reaction to the political developments in the home country. Profound admiration of Russian literature and culture did not mitigate the writers’ criticism of the czarist and Soviet regimes.
