{"product_id":"primed-for-violence-paul-brykczynski-9780299307042","title":"Primed for Violence: Murder, Antisemitism, and Democratic Politics in Interwar Poland","description":"In 1922, the new Republic of Poland democratically elected its first president, Gabriel Narutowicz. Because his supporters included a Jewish political party, an opposing faction of antisemites demanded his resignation. Within hours, bloody riots erupted in Warsaw, and less than a week later the president was assassinated. In the wake of these events, the radical right asserted that only \"ethnic Poles\" should rule the country, while the left silently capitulated to this demand.\u003cbr\u003e As Paul Brykczynski tells this gripping story, he explores the complex role of antisemitism, nationalism, and violence in Polish politics between the two World Wars. Though focusing on Poland, the book sheds light on the rise of the antisemitic right in Europe and beyond, and on the impact of violence on political culture and discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Brykczynski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299307042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299307042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Paul Brykczynski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946398843135,"sku":"9780299307042","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3cfb0630-cb05-4a6e-93cb-0e0a65e5030d.jpg?v=1681512922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/primed-for-violence-paul-brykczynski-9780299307042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
