  1. "In 2019, #DavidSorkin described his #book #Jewish Emancipation: A History Across Five Centuries as an effort to “re-direct the focus of modern Jewish #history.” “Jewish emancipation” refers in this case to the #Jews’ acquiring rights of #citizenship, and more generally #civilrights, in the countries where they had lived for centuries as resident strangers. By his own admission, #Sorkin wrote about that process of change “from the side of the state.” His new book, The Emancipationists: Nineteenth-Century Jews’ Campaign for Citizenship, is his effort to complement his prior work with “the other side of that history, the Jews’ political mobilization.”

    The #Yale #historian’s primary interest is the period from the late 18th century to the eve of World War I, a time during which #European nations, and to a lesser degree the #UnitedStates and North #Africa, addressed and reformed the status of Jews in their midst."
