World War I and the Jews
World War I utterly transformed the lives of Jews around the world: it allowed them to display their patriotism, to dispel antisemitic myths about Jewish cowardice, and to fight for Jewish rights. Yet Jews also suffered as refugees and deportees, at times catastrophically. And in the aftermath of the war, the replacement of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian and Ottoman Empires with a system of nation-states confronted Jews with a new set of c…
Kenneth Stow. Anna and Tranquillo
Although Anna and Tranquillo: Catholic Anxiety and Jewish Protest in the Age of Revolutions ostensibly focuses on events that occurred in May of 1749, its real chronological center is 1793. The earlier date is when the seventeen- or eighteen-year-old Anna del Monte, the unmarried daughter of a prominent and wealthy Jewish family in the Roman ghetto, was kidnapped from her home by agents of the Catholic Church and placed in the House of Converts, …

The essays, written by an international team of scholars, situate the Jewish experience in relation to the multiple political, intellectual and cultural currents of the period.

World War I and the Jews
The Art of Being Jewish in Modern Times
This richly illustrated volume illuminates how the arts have helped Jews confront the challenges of modernity. There truly is an art to being Jewish in the modern world—or, alternatively, an art to being modern in the Jewish world—and this collection fully captures its range, diversity, and historical significance
The Politics of Jewish Commerce
This study demonstrates the centrality of economic rationales to debates on Jews' status in Italy, Britain, France and Germany during the course of two centuries. It delineates the common themes that informed these debates - the ideal republic and the 'ancient constitution', the conflict between virtue and commerce, and the notion of useful and productive labor. It thus provides an overview of the political-economic dimensions of Jewish emancipat…

Reviewed by: Social Science and the Politics of Modern Jewish Identity Jonathan Karp Mitchell B. Hart . Social Science and the Politics of Modern Jewish Identity. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2000. Pp. viii + 340. This important study of Jewish social scientists in the early decades of the twentieth century is not really about "Jewish identity," as the title misleadingly suggests, but about the Zionist effort to use statistics and…
Performing Black-Jewish Symbiosis
On May 9 , 1958 , the African American singer and political activist Paul Robeson (1898 -1976 ) performed "The Hassidic [sic] Chant of Levi Isaac," along with a host of spirituals and folk songs, before a devoted assembly of his fans at Carnegie Hall.
