From Europe's East to the Middle East
An Unchosen People
A revisionist account of interwar Europe’s largest Jewish community that upends histories of Jewish agency to rediscover reckonings with nationalism’s pathologies, diaspora’s fragility, Zionism’s promises, and the necessity of choice. What did the future hold for interwar Europe’s largest Jewish community, the font of global Jewish hopes? When intrepid analysts asked these questions on the cusp of the 1930s, they discovered a Polish Jewry reckoni…

Simon Rabinovitch. Jewish Rights, National Rites
With Jewish Rights, National Rites: Nationalism and Autonomy in Late Imperial and Revolutionary Russia, Simon Rabinovitch offers an essential new account of Jewish nationalism in the Russian Empire and Eastern Europe through a supple history of the surprisingly successful career of an idea that now seems fanciful but that became central to the Jewish political imagination in the last decades of the tsarist empire: the program of Jewish autonomism…
William A. Taylor. Military Service and American Democracy
Since U.S. intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and 2003, debate has increased about a gap between American society and its voluntary professional military. Can a voluntary army be representative of a democratic nation? In a valuable, insightful book that avoids much of the emotion in this debate, William A. Taylor’s Military Service and American Democracy: From World War II to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars presents a compelling argument …

Thinking with restriction
This paper investigates how educated Jewish observers struggled to understand the causes of the global immigration restriction that so impacted East European Jewry in the 1920s and 1930s, and uses their competing explanations, convictions, and uncertainties to reveal underlying structures of Jewish political understanding in the interwar period more broadly. Efforts to explain restriction, the ways in which it seemed both to target Jews and to be…

Jewish Renaissance in the Russian Revolution
Between 1917 and 1921, as revolution convulsed Russia, Jewish intellectuals and writers across the crumbling empire threw themselves into the pursuit of a "Jewish renaissance." Here is a brilliant, revisionist argument about the nature of cultural nationalism, the relationship between nationalism and socialism as ideological systems, and culture itself, the axis around which the encounter between Jews and European modernity has pivoted over the p…

Jewish Culture Between Renaissance and Decadence
Upon assuming the editorship of Ha-shiloah in 1902, Yosef Klaus-ner announced his plans to expand the belletristics section of the preeminent Hebrew journal. He declared: "We consider the poetic work to be an enormous spiritual power, whose influence on the development of the Israelite nation must increase," and he lamented that "[t]he Jew is still unable to get used to the notion that all poetic works are important attainments of human culture, …
