Revolutionary jewish party's radical legacy

The Jewish Labour Bund, founded in 1897, was a revolutionary party that fought for social democracy, cosmopolitanism, and collective liberation over nationalist and capitalist ideologies.

A model for combating zionism and ethno-chauvinism

Author and activist Molly Crabapple's new book, 'Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund', chronicles the extraordinary rise and fall of this socialist movement, which at its peak was the most popular in Russia.

Crabapple, who has spent 15 years documenting resistance movements, describes her book as 'a defeated person's history of the 20th century'. The 380-page narrative is interspersed with her own illustrations of key figures, weaving a poignant and high-tempo account of the Bund's history.
