Highlighting the emancipation of Jews as it spread across Europe, Poliakov shows how philosophers, statesmen, and some theologians became concerned with civil rights, yet the anti-Semitic beliefs of many highly regarded and influential persons remained a major roadblock to true equality and justice. The volume ends with the development of racial anti-Semitic theories bound up in the emerging modern sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L駮n Poliakov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812218655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812218657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.04w x 1.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 17 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"L駮n Poliakov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947276108031,"sku":"9780812218657","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1272c1b6-5c1e-4de6-a75a-cd0edf005768.jpg?v=1681517757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-voltaire-to-wagner-leon-poliakov-9780812218657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
