Description

The progress towards emancipation of the Jews in the 18th and 19th centuries was driven not only by Enlightenment ideas of equality and tolerance, but also by highly pragmatic considerations. While initially, for the most part, enthusiastic objects of this process, European Jews grew increasingly aware of the conditions attached to it and of its real and potential dangers. Traces the history of emancipation, its achievements and failures, and the light it sheds on the development of European societies.
