Paperback. Condition: Good. The personal and professional life of Bruno Kreisky (1911?1990), Austria's long-serving Socialist chancellor from August 1970 to May 1983, has been the focus of many books and articles. However, his ambiguous and complex relationship to his Jewishness, the State of Israel, and Zionism, as well as his connections to his overall political project and global aspirations, remain only partially researched. This book studies and analyzes these more systematically and comprehensively and places Kreisky in a comparative perspective with other twentieth-century European Jewish politicians who attained similar pinnacles of power. At the same time, the book will show that Bruno Kreisky was among the most influential and controversial political leaders since World War II. The book revolves around understanding and illuminating the myriad ways in which Kreisky's Jewishness was--or was not--a formative factor in his treatment of "Jewish" questions within Austrian politics, Austrian-Israeli relations, and his active engagement in Middle Eastern affairs. This deeper understanding mainly emerges through examining Kreisky's actions during several pivotal events like the Kreisky-Peter-Wiesenthal affair, the Waldheim affair, the 1973 Marchegg incident, and his overall relationship to Zionism, the State of Israel, and the Palestinian Arab world. This book is not a comprehensive biography of Kreisky. Instead, it attempts to document and place Kreisky's fraught engagement with his Jewishness and the related sensitive issues that touched upon it in a historical, political, ideological, and personal context. This mainly comes down to the entangled and always-ambiguous politics of identity, especially his understanding of his Jewishness.…

paperback. Condition: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition. ASCHHEIM, STEVEN E. In times of crisis: essays on European culture, Germans, and Jews. Madison, Wisc: University of Wisconsin Press, 2001, 1st printing number line ending in 1, x, 269pp., . "The nineteenth- and twentieth-century relationship between European culture, German history, and the Jewish experience produced some of the West's most powerful and enduring intellectual creationsand, perhaps in subtly paradoxical and interrelated ways, our century's darkest genocidal moments. In Times of Crisis explores the flashpoints of this vexed relationship, mapping the coordinates of a complex triangular encounter of immense historical import. In essays that range from the question of Nietzsche's legacy to the controversy over Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners, the distinguished historian Steven E. Aschheim presents this encounter as an ongoing dialogue between two evolving cultural identities. He touches on past dimensions of this exchange (such as the politics of Weimar Germany) and on present dilemmas of grasping and representing it (such as the Israeli discourse on the Holocaust). His work inevitably traces the roots and ramifications of Nazism but at the same time brings into focus historical circumstances and contemporary issues often overshadowed or distorted by the Holocaust. These essays reveal the ubiquitous charged inscriptions of Nazi genocide within our own culture and illuminate the projects of some later thinkers and historians - from Hannah Arendt to George Mosse to Saul Friedlander - who have wrestled with its problematics and sought to capture its essence. From the broadly historical to the personal, from the politics of Weimar Germany to the experience of growing up German Jewish in South Africa, the essays expand our understanding of German Jewish history in particular, but also of historical processes in general." - CONTENTS: Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Nordau, and Degeneration -- Thinking the Nietzsche legacy today: a historian's perspective -- Against social science: Jewish intellectuals, the critique of liberal-bourgeois modernity, and the (ambiguous) legacy of radical Weimar theory -- Nazism and the Holocaust in contemporary culture -- Excursus: growing up German Jewish in South Africa. - Assimilation and its impossible discontents: the case of Moritz Goldstein -- Hannah Arendt in Jerusalem -- German history and German Jewry: junctions, boundaries, and interdependencies -- Archetypes and the German Jewish dialogue: reflections occasioned by the Goldhagen affair -- Nazism, normalcy, and the German Sonderweg -- Nazism, culture, and The origins of totalitarianism: Hannah Arendt and the discourse of evil. - Post-Holocaust Jewish mirrorings of Germany: Hannah Arendt and Daniel Goldhagen -- Reconceiving the Holocaust? Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's willing executioners -- George Mosse at 80: a critical laudatio -- On Saul Friedlander. 9780299168643 ISBN 0299168646.…
