When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, they announced the
overthrow of a world scarred by exploitation and domination. In the
very moment of revolution, these sentiments were put to the test as
antisemitic pogroms swept the former Pale of Settlement. The
pogroms posed fundamental questions of the Bolshevik project,
revealing the depth of antisemitism within sections of the working
class, peasantry and Red Army. Antisemitism and the Russian
Revolution offers the first book-length analysis of the Bolshevik
response to antisemitism. Contrary to existing understandings, it
reveals this campaign to have been led not by the Party leadership,
as is often assumed, but by a loosely connected group of radicals
who mobilized around a Jewish political subjectivity. By examining
pogroms committed by the Red Army, Brendan McGeever also uncovers
the explosive overlap between revolutionary politics and
antisemitism, and the capacity for class to become racialized in a
moment of crisis.
