"The Emergence of Modern Jewish Politics "examines the political,
social, and cultural dimensions of Zionism and Bundism, the two
major political movements among East European Jews during the first
half of the twentieth century.
While Zionism achieved its primary aim--the founding of a Jewish
state--the Jewish Labor Bund has not only practically disappeared,
but its ideals of socialism and secular Jewishness based in the
diaspora seem to have failed. Yet, as Zvi Gitelman and the various
contributors argue, it was the Bund that more profoundly changed
the structure of Jewish society, politics, and culture.
In thirteen essays, prominent historians, political scientists,
and professors of literature discuss the cultural and political
contexts of these movements, their impact on Jewish life, and the
reasons for the Bund's demise, and they question whether ethnic
minorities are best served by highly ideological or solidly
pragmatic movements.
