Résumé: | David Sorkin’s Jewish Emancipation: A History across Five Centuries is an imposing, textbook-like work of massive sweep. It argues that Jewish emancipation was simultaneously the most significant event of Jewish modernity and not an event at all, but rather a protracted, contradictory, and staggered process that unfolded differently in different regions over the course of time. On the surface, it simply narrates the political and legal changes in Jewish civil status in response to new rulers, revolutions, and wars. Underneath the surface, it makes normative claims about the precarity of liberalism and the Jewish place in the global liberal order. |
