Sacred Bonds of Solidarity - The Rise of Jewish Internationalism in Nineteenth-Century France

Zusatztext "By integrating treatises and works of fiction into her research, Leff successfully illustrates the cause and effect element in the Jewish quest for a political and social role in nineteenth-century France as well as the international stage." Informationen zum Autor Lisa Moses Leff is Associate Professor of History at American University in Washington, DC. Klappentext "This is an exciting and unique contribution to the history of Jewish internationalism. In contrast to an earlier generation of scholars, Leff shows quite convincingly that French Jews did not abandon their Jewishness in order to become integrated French citizens. Rather, they re-conceptualized their Jewishness to reflect the new political and social realities they faced."--Maud Mandel, Brown University Zusammenfassung Sacred Bonds of Solidarity is a history of the emergence of Jewish international aid and the language of "solidarity" that accompanied it in nineteenth-century France.
