About this book

This book examines the emotional aspects of revolutionary experience during a critical turning point in both Russian and Jewish history - the 1905 revolution. Shtakser argues that radicalization involved an emotional transformation, which enabled many young revolutionaries to develop an activist attitude towards reality.

Reviews

“This book is not just of historical interest, but also contains plenty of insight for contemporary social theorists and activists concerned with the interplay of ethnic identities, patriarchy and class that echo practical issues for contemporary anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist inter-organisational co-operation. This volume deserves a wider readership beyond historians of Jewish East European history.” (Benjamin Franks, Anarchist Studies, Vol. 28 (1), 2020)

“The combination of the new sources and new methodology makes this work a valuable addition to research on the Jewish labor movement in general and Jewish revolutionary parties in particular. … the book is an important contribution to the research of Jewish participation in the 1905–1907 Russian Revolution – more so in the form of the workers’ movement than party politics.” (Vladimir Levin, Ab Imperio, Issue 3, 2016)
