Molly Crabapple, _Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund_ (One World, April 2026)

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646320/here-where-we-live-is-our-country-by-molly-crabapple/

ISBN: 9780593229453
Hardcover $32.00 (480 Pages)

>> … Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe, the [Jewish Labor] Bund was 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.”

>> Here Where We Live Is Our Country reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. As we once again contend with nationalism, repression, and the struggle for belonging, the Bund’s remarkable story and message—that liberation, dignity, and solidarity must begin where we stand—reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment.

'In her new book, Molly Crabapple brings to life the extraordinary story of the secular #JewishLaborBund, which was active in #EasternEurope beginning in 1897 and continued its work into the 1930s. The #Bundists sought dignity and equality “here where we live,” not in a distant homeland.'

They tried to smear him as an antisemite – but Mayor #ZohranMamdani walks in a rich #Jewish tradition
When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him as an heir to the #Yiddish socialism that helped build #NewYork

[very heart-warming and informative article]

Bruce Vladeck, a member of one of #Mamdani’s transition committees, is a well-respected expert on Medicare...

Vladeck is the grandson of Baruch C. Vladeck, a #Marxist troublemaker from the Pale of Settlement, a tract of land in the Russian empire where #Jews were permitted to live at a time of rampant #antisemitic oppression.

Vladeck was not actually his birth name. It was rather a nom de guerre, adopted when he joined the #JewishLaborBund, the #socialist, secular and defiantly #AntiZionist movement whose slogan, “here where we live is our country,” would make an apt tagline for #Mamdani’s New York.
