74. Molly Crabapple on the Story of the Jewish Bund

Established in 1897, the Jewish Labor Bund was once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe. Secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist, the Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.” Award-winning writer and artist Molly Crabapple offers the first popular history of the Bund in Here Where We Live Is Our Country. Naomi Klein called it “that rarest of books: a gripping, human story of love, idealism, and betrayal—and an immense, rigorous contribution to the historical record.” Crabapple will bring a revolutionary movement to life, and address its message of solidarity and liberation in our current place in history, in conversation with Peter Klein.
