Overview: This book examines the intersection of urban society and modern politics among Jews in turn of the century Warsaw, Europe’s largest Jewish center at the time. By focusing on the tumultuous events surrounding the Revolution of 1905, Barricades and Banners argues that the metropolitanization of Jewish life led to a need for new forms of community and belonging, and that the ensuing search for collective and individual order gave birth to the new institutions, organizations, and practices that would define modern Jewish society and politics for the remainder of the twentieth century.
Barricades and Banners received the Reginald Zelnik Book Prize for outstanding monograph published on Russia, Eastern Europe or Eurasia in the field of history from the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES). A manuscript version of the book was awarded a commendation for the Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History for an outstanding work of twentieth-century history from the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide, London.
