Between the Star of David and the Red Star. Jewish answers to the crisis of liberal emancipation

Abstract

The book's main subject is a comparison of the Communist and Sionist movements as two answers to the crisis of liberal emancipation. The author rejects the perspective that two movements are in opposition to each other instead finding similarities and parallels.

The ideas of these two revolutionary movements are examined from the point of view of the questions that are asked by current emancipatory theory.
