Jewish Emancipation Reconsidered: The French and German Models

by Michael Brenner, Vicki Caron (Editor), Uri R Kaufmann (Editor)

European and American scholars of history, Jewish studies, and various social sciences examine the history of French and German Jews from the late-18th to the early-20th centuries, a period commonly referred to as the emancipation era. The two communities are often seen as paradigms respectively of the different paths to from revolution and from evolution. The 12 essays are from a May 2001 conference in Tutzing, Germany.
