{"product_id":"the-jews-of-eastern-europe-israel-bartal-9780812219074","title":"The Jews of Eastern Europe, 1772-1881","description":"In the nineteenth century, the largest Jewish community the modern world had known lived in hundreds of towns and shtetls in the territory between the Prussian border of Poland and the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea. The period had started with the partition of Poland and the absorption of its territories into the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires; it would end with the first large-scale outbreaks of anti-Semitic violence and the imposition in Russia of strong anti-Semitic legislation. In the years between, a traditional society accustomed to an autonomous way of life would be transformed into one much more open to its surrounding cultures, yet much more confident of its own nationalist identity. In \u003ci\u003eThe Jews of Eastern Europe\u003c\/i\u003e, Israel Bartal traces this transformation and finds in it the roots of Jewish modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Israel Bartal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812219074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812219074\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 08\/16\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\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 6.00w x 0.60d\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\/2007 pg. 1 - Recommended\/Regional General","brand":"Israel Bartal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996146434303,"sku":"9780812219074","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa236afa-3db5-429f-aed9-a63e74643bd4.jpg?v=1683339989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jews-of-eastern-europe-israel-bartal-9780812219074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
