I am delighted to announce the publication of Barricades and Banners: The
Revolution of 1905 and the Transformation of Warsaw Jewry by Stanford
University Press.
Based on a wide array of archival and published sources in Hebrew, Polish,
Russian and Yiddish from collections in Israel, Poland and the United States,
this book examines the intersection of urban society and modern politics in
Europe's largest Jewish center at the time, Warsaw.
Focusing on the events surrounding the Revolution of 1905, Barricades and
Banners argues
that the metropolitanization of Jewish life in early twentieth-century
Warsaw led to a need for new forms of community and belonging among
Jews, and that the ensuing
search for collective and individual order gave birth to the
institutions, organizations, and practices that would define modern
Jewish society and politics for the remainder of the twentieth century.

Barricades and Banners
examines the intersection of urban society and modern politics among
Jews in turn of the century Warsaw, Europe's largest Jewish center at
the time. By focusing on the tumultuous events surrounding the
Revolution of 1905, Scott Ury argues that the metropolitanization of
Jewish life led to a need for new forms of community and belonging, and
that the ensuing search for collective and individual order gave birth
to the new institutions, organizations, and practices that would define
modern Jewish society and politics for the remainder of the twentieth
century.

"Scott
Ury is one of the brightest and most gifted of the younger historians
of Jewish Eastern Europe. His new book on Jewish Warsaw is full of fresh
perspectives that show the important impact of urbanization on the
development of Polish Jewry."
