German-Jewish History in Modern Times Emancipation and Acculturation, 1780-1871 (volume2)
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Columbia Univ Pr
- Publish date: 03/01/1998
The book begins with Christian Wilhelm Dohm's programmatic work On the Civil Improvement of the Jews and Habsburg Emperor Joseph II's toleration edicts, two monumental events that began the process leading to Jewish civil equality. The volume explores the long struggle for emancipation; how Jews dealt with German Christianity's insistent denial of Judaism's viability; and now leading Jewish writers and intellectuals expressed the ambiguities of Jewishness in Germany.
Accessible to general readers and students, this book is an indispensable resource for understanding the complex process by which Jews became an integral part of the modern world.
