Collected here are sto­ries of heroism and selflessness that trace their origins to resis­tance against the nineteenth-century Tsarist Empire. These radical Jews--most of them working class--found common cause with oth­er oppressed groups. They refused to be defined as victims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis inspiring tradition was ultimately checked by the callous indif­ference of capitalist governments to refugees before the Second World War and to the Holocaust. Donny Gluckstein and Janey Stone revive this history for the benefit of a world in crisis. They consider this legacy and its impact on modern Jewish identity. At a time when a bellicose Israeli government claims to represent Jews the world over, the history of these radicals bursts the constraints placed on the historical imagination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is a story central to the socialist movement as well as an ob­ject lesson for all those struggling to resist.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonny Gluckstein\u003c\/b\u003e is the son of an anti-Zionist Jewish Palestinian refugee father and Jewish South African mother.
