What role did individual Jews play in the European socialist movement of the 19th and 20th centuries and why did some of them become such important cataysts of social change? Did their active particiaption in revolutionary socialism have something to do with their Jewish origins and heritage? What attitude did they adopt, as socialists and as Jews, to the growth of anti-Semitism and the emergence of Zionism in various European societies? This book, the first in any langauge to deal systematically with this complex and emotionally charged subject, provides some fascinating answers to these controversial questions.

Demonizing the Other (Studies in Antisemitism, 4)

At the close of the twentieth century the stereotyping and demonization of 'others', whether on religious, nationalist, racist, or political grounds, has become a burning issue. Yet comparatively little attention has been paid to how and why we fabricate images of the 'other' as an enemy or 'demon' to be destroyed. This innovative book fills that gap through an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural approach that brings together a distinguished array of historians, anthropologists, psychologists, literary critics, and feminists. The historical sweep covers Greco-Roman Antiquity, the MIddle Ages, and the MOdern Era. Antisemitism receives special attention because of its longevity and centrality to the Holocaust, but it is analyzed here within the much broader framework of racism and xenophobia. The plurality of viewpoints expressed in this volume provide fascinating insights into what is common and what is unique to the many varieties of prejudice, stereotyping, demonization, and hatred.
