Beginning in the 1890s, and continuing into the twentieth century,
Jewish workers in the Russian Pale of Settlement organised
themselves to improve their economic and cultural situation. Their
struggle was the result of an alliance with the Jewish socialist
intelligentsia, which began by teaching workers in select 'circles'
and ended by assuming the leadership of a mass labour movement. In
this book, originally published in 1970, Dr Mendelsohn analyses the
nature and condition of the Russian Jewish proletariat. There
follows a discussion on the 'propaganda' period and the subsequent
transition to 'agitation'. The Jewish strike movement is analysed,
with special attention to the workers' aims, tactics and relations
with the formal institutions of the organised labour movement. Dr
Mendelson also considers the relationship between the proletarian
rank-and-file and the movement's leadership, placing emphasis on
movements of opposition. The study concludes by considering the
ultimate value of the Jewish labour movement for its participants,
and by assessing its unique position in the context of Russian
labour history.
