The Radical Jewish Tradition by Donny Gluckstein & Janey Stone
“Nowhere else will you find a coherent account of the Jewish socialist tradition. Fascinating stories are framed by convincing arguments that working class struggles for liberation, united across ethnic lines, are possible and essential. The tradition is counterposed to the Zionist fable that Jews can achieve security through militarism and colonisation”. —
Rick Kuhn, Australian Marxist scholar, activist, and Deutscher Prize winner.
“This timely book is an excellent antidote to any attempt to de-historicise conflicts such as the one raging in Gaza. Pre-Zionist Jewish life and culture, in particular in its Marxist and radical forms, as this book so succinctly proves, invalidates the absurd attempt to equate Zionism with Judaism and anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
Ilan Pappé, Israeli historian and author
