{"product_id":"socialism-in-yiddish","title":"Socialism in Yiddish","description":"Opposition became the Bund's condition of existence, but not opposition\nfor its own sake. The Bund was founded on the conviction that the\n\"Jewish question\" could only be resolved through the liberation of the\ninternational working class from all forms of oppression on its way to\nestablishing a world of equality, welfare and democracy without borders\n- a socialist social order. There, the broad strata of the population would\nrule, rather than capitalist elites or communist party apparatchiks.\n\nThe Bund was one of the losers of history. The once deeply-rooted movement\nwas crushed during terror and genocide, dispersed into exile, driven\ninto its shell by overpowering political forces and undermined by assimilation\nas time wore on and the world changed. The following story is about\nthat process at the micro-level, in a place on the edge of the world.\n\nIn this unique account Håkan Blomqvist relates a largely unknown\nchapter in both the historiography of the Swedish labor movement and\nin Swedish-Jewish history, that of the non-Zionist Jewish Arbeter Bund\namong refugees in Sweden during and after World War II.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 9189109902\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.9189109902.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Blomqvist, Håkan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43524195713085,"sku":"BVV.9189109902.VG","price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/9189109902-0.jpg?v=1787867542","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/socialism-in-yiddish","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
