Jews and Leftist Politics: Judaism, Israel, Antisemitism, and Gender / Antisemitism and the left: On the return of the Jewish question

Why have so many Jews traditionally embraced left-wing causes? This is the main question tackled by the contributors to Jews and Leftist Politics: Judaism, Israel, Antisemitism, and Gender, edited by Jack Jacobs, professor of political science at the City University of New York. Some of them seek answers in Judaism and Jewish religious ideas, such as revolutionary messianism and an emphasis on personal action. Others attribute Jewish affinity for radicalism to social marginality due to limited economic, political, or cultural opportunities in a climate of antisemitism.
