I. Segal Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1991. In the eighteenth century, more than half of the world's Jewish population lived in Polish private villages and towns owned by magnate-aristocrats. Furthermore, roughly half of Poland's entire urban population was Jewish. Thus, the study of Jews in private Polish towns is central to both Jewish history and to the history of Poland-Lithuania. \u003ci\u003eThe Jews in a Polish Private Town\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to investigate the social, economic, and political history of Jews in Opat?w, a private Polish town, in the context of an increasing power and influence of private towns at the expense of the Polish crown and gentry in the eighteenth century. Hundert recovers an important community from historical obscurity by providing a balanced perspective on the Jewish experience in the Polish Commonwealth and by describing the special dimensions of Jewish life in a private town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gershon David Hundert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421436264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421436265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Gershon David Hundert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250539385087,"sku":"9781421436265","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de2a21aa-8775-4380-bb1c-bba1be98a46b.jpg?v=1729600617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jews-in-a-polish-gershon-david-hundert-9781421436265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
