Radical Jewish Politics - A Global Perspective

Jews became involved in radical politics to transform society but also out of a desire to belong. For the first time, this volume centers radical Jewish politics in the Middle East and North Africa and puts this history into conversation with developments in the Americas, South Africa, Soviet Asia, and Europe.
