¿This is a timely contribution to some of the most pressing debates facing scholars of Jewish Studies today. It forces us to re-think standard approaches to both antisemitism and liberalism. Its geographic scope offers a model for how scholars can ¿provincialize¿ Europe and engage in a transnational approach to Jewish history. The book crackles with intellectual energy; it is truly a pleasure to read.¿

Integrates established historiographical concerns with the new perspectives opened-up by transnational history and the global and imperial turn
