| Description: |
Bringing together contributions from established scholars from multiple disciplines, Volume XVIII of Studies in Contemporary Jewry offers a broad-ranging and timely view of Jews and violence. The volume construes violence broadly, including deviance and crime, verbal threat and incitement, and coercion, force and the resort to arms in individual, collective and communal, and state contexts. The essays span events in Israel, Russia, Germany, and the UnitedStates. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the newest volume of the annual Studies In Contemporary Jewry series. It contains original essays on Jews and crime in fact, fantasy, and fiction; verbal and physical violence in Israeli politics; Jews as revolutionaires; armed resistance by Jews in Nazi Germany; ethical dilemmas within the Israeli Defense Forces; violence in Israeli society and social stress; and other topics. As with other volumes, it also contains review essays and book reviews. |
