Pogroms: Anti-Jewish Violence in Modern Russian History Hardcover - 1992

by John Doyle Klier (Editor); Shlomo Lambroza (Editor)


From the publisher

Three major waves of anti-Jewish rioting swept southern Russia and Russian Poland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, distinguished scholars of Russian Jewish history explore the origins and nature of these pogroms, which were among the most extensive outbreaks of anti-semitic violence before the Holocaust. Using new approaches to the study of Russian history, the contributors examine each wave of violence in turn. They look at the role of violence in Russian society; the prejudices, stereotypes, and psychology of both educated society and the rural masses; the work of the Tsarist regime, especially the police and the army as agents of order and control; and the impact of the pogroms on the sense of Jewish identity and security in the Empire. In his conclusion, Hans Rogger reflects upon pogroms in Russia and then broadens the study by comparing these riots with both pogroms in Western and Central Europe and outbreaks of anti-Negro violence within the United States during the same period.

First line

In the early months of 1881, the Jews of the Russian Empire were poised on the verge of four decades of pogrom violence.
