Alain Brossat and Sylvie Klingberg retrace the lost history of Jewish radicalism and revolution that inflamed Eastern Europe in the 20th century, dissecting how Jewish socialists and Zionists reshaped the world.

The history of Jews in 20th-century Europe is a long, tragic tale of antisemitic policies, ghettos, and genocide.

Yet before the 1940s, millions of Jews called Europe their home during one of the most radical periods of history.

In Revolutionary Yiddishland: A History of Jewish Radicalism, philosopher Alain Brossat and sociologist Sylvie Klingberg present an urgently needed history of European Jews.

From resisting Nazism, Franco, and Stalin to being at the center of revolutions that changed history, Brossat and Klingberg chart the history of Jewish radicalism, illustrating how Jews fought against antisemitism in all its forms.
