The Limits of Fraternity
Dreyfus, the Jews, and the French Republic
Author Information - Publication Details
An
in-depth exploration of the meanings that have been attached to the Dreyfus
affair. Wistrich raises a series of challenging questions to explore how
and why it achieved such international resonance, both in its own day
and as a leitmotif in twentieth-century history. In examining the significance
of the affair as a paradigm of modern French, European, and Jewish history,
he throws a searching new light on the position of Jews in modern democratic
society.
Robert S. Wistrich holds the Neuberger Chair of Modern European and Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was previously Jewish Chronicle Professor of Jewish Studies at University College, London, and in 1999 was visiting professor and scholar-in-residence at Harvard University. He is the author and editor of twenty books, including Socialism and the Jews: The Dilemmas of Assimilation in Germany and Austria-Hungary (1984) and the prize-winning The Jews of Vienna in the Age of Franz Joseph (1989), both published by the Littman Library, as well as Antisemitism: The Longest Hatred (1991) and the popular Who's Who in Nazi Germany (second edition, 1995). He was for several years co-editor of East European Affairs, has been a rapporteur for the Council of Europe on issues of racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism, and is currently Director of the Center for Austrian Studies at the Hebrew University.
