Includes bibliographical references.<br> “During his long exile Kropotkin wrote a series of influential works the most important being ‘Paroles d’un révolté’ 1885; “Words of a Rebelâ€.Kropotkin’s aim as he often remarked was to provide anarchism with a scientific basis. In Mutual Aid which is widely regarded as his masterpiece he argued that despite the Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest cooperation rather than conflict is the chief factor in the evolution of species. Providing abundant examples he showed that sociability is a dominant feature at every level of the animal world. <br> Among humans too he found that mutual aid has been the rule rather than the exception. He traced the evolution of voluntary cooperation from the primitive tribe peasant village and medieval commune to a variety of modern associations—trade unions learned societies the Red Cross—that have continued to practice mutual support despite the rise of the coercive bureaucratic state. The trend of modern history he believed was pointing back toward decentralized nonpolitical cooperative societies in which people could develop their creative faculties without interference from rulers clerics or soldiers.â€<br> SUBJECTS: Anarchism.

193017315Kharkov Ukraine: Ukrinishn Melukhe-Farlag 1930. 1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers lacks front wrapper 8vo 160 pages. 21 cm. In Yiddish. Di Royte Velt was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine which began publication in 1924. <br> “The Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt The Red World published in 1924-33 in Kharkiv Kharkov in Russian then the Ukrainian capital was one of the strongholds of 'anti-Litvakovism'. In general terms the story of Di royte velt represents an insightful chapter in the history of Soviet Yiddish literary life of the 1920s and 1930s.<br> In 1924 there arose the question of moving the Yiddish literary centre from Kiev to Kharkiv and of launching a Kiev-based Yiddish literary journal. This matter was discussed in a special memorandum of the Press Department of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The head of the department M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky was Jewish. Motl Kiper the head of the Ukrainian Jewish Section backed this proposal arguing that Yiddish literature would benefit immensely from the capital's proletarian environment where it would liberate itself from the nationalist and Yiddishist hang-ups of Kiev.<br> In reality the Kharkiv Jewish proletariat was more acculturated than elsewhere in Ukraine: only 36 per cent of Kharkiv Region's Jewish trade unionists were Yiddish-speakers compared with 89 per cent in the Berdichev Region 55 per cent in the Kiev Region and 42 per cent in the Odessa Region.<br> It was no easy matter to create overnight a literary centre in a city which had a number of journalists but no literary lions. Moshe Taitsh for instance had been transferred to Moscow to reinforce the editorial staff of Der emes.<br> For all that the apparatchiks' initiative resulted in creating in Kharkiv a new Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt.<br> The first editors of Di royte velt were Henekh Kazakevich and M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky. While the latter was a king for a day in Yiddish literatureKazakevich was a remarkable figure in Soviet Yiddish journalism….<br> The first issue of the new journal appeared in September 1924 with a print-run of 2000. It was labelled a 'political-social literary-scientific bi-weekly journal'. Indeed the first issue contained only two literary works: a poem by Itsik Fefer and a story by Shmuel Persov. The other materials were devoted to theatre politics cosmology and literary criticism. Significantly the journal stressed its international character. <br> Among its potential contributors we find the names of the editors and writers of the New York communist Yiddish daily Frayhayt Freedom Moshe Olgin Morris Vinchevsky Shakhne Epshtein Moshe Kats and Moshe Nadir. Also it was announced that the Vilna-based Boris Kletskin publishing house was preparing for publication books by four Soviet writers listed among the journals' contributors: Arn Kushnirov Moshe Khashtshevatsky Ezra Finninberg and Nokhum Oislender†Gennady Estraikh 2002: 'The Kharkiv Yiddish literary world 1920s-mid-1930s'East European Jewish Affairs 32: 2 70 — 88; for Estraikh’s extensive discussion of the importance of Di Royte Velt see the full article at https://www.yiddishweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Kharkiv-Yiddish_Estra ikh.pdf. <br> SUBJECTS : Yiddish literature -- Periodicals.

During Fraye Arbeter Shtime's hiatus in the late 1890s Maryson assisted in the cultural and literary journal Di Fraye Gezelshaft. Beginning in 1911 he edited the anarchist periodical Dos Fraye Vort. Maryson organized the Kropotkin Literary Society to print Yiddish translations of European thinkers. Maryson handled some of the group's most challenging translations including Marx's Das Kapital Stirner's The Ego and His Own and Thoreau's Civil Disobedience. He also translated John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. Maryson later wrote The Principles of Anarchism in 1935.†Wikipedia.<br> SUBJECTS: Anarchism. OCLC: 19304220<br> Very Good Condition. YID-48-3-.

Title translates roughly as “The Yiddish Language.†Succeeded in 1931 by “Afn shprakhfront.â€Di Yidishe Shprakh was a “Yiddish linguistic journal published in Kiev from 1927 to 1930. A bimonthly journal Di yidishe shprakh The Yiddish Language was published by the cooperative publishing house Kultur-lige and was the main philological publication of the Kiev Yiddish academic center. Its editor was the veteran Yiddishist Nokhem Shtif a founder of YIVO who had returned to Kiev from Germany in 1926. The journal’s inaugural issue March–April 1927 was published under the auspices of the Central Yiddish Bureau of the Ukrainian Commissariat for Education. With the next issue Di yidishe shprakh was an organ of the Chair and from July to October 1929 it was an organ of the Institute for Jewish later Proletarian Jewish Culture at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Initially defined as a 'journal for practical Yiddish linguistics' from May to June 1927 it appeared as simply a 'journal for Yiddish linguistics. 'Shtif distinguished three language registers: the vernacular of the old generation partly represented in the works of Sholem Aleichem and predecessors; the highbrow language of modern writers such as Dovid Bergelson; and the contemporary 'culture language' most notably of the press. Although Shtif sought to target speakers of the mass 'culture language' the journal’s circulation hovered around 500 copies read mainly by Yiddish teachers.Apart from Shtif who published articles on various language-planning problems the most active contributors to Di yidishe shprakh were Ber Slutski Ayzik Zaretski Elye Falkovitsh Lipe Reznik and Shimen Dobin. In early 1929 Moscow literary critic Aron Gurshteyn criticized the journal for its purist approach to language planning. In the July–October 1929 issue Shtif published his article 'Di sotsyale diferentsiatsye in yidish' The Social Differentiation in Yiddish heralding an intensification of Soviet linguists’ anti-Hebraist campaign. That issue of Di yidishe shprakh adopted completely reformed Soviet spelling omitting for example final consonant letters.Although the last—twenty-fifth—issue of the journal was dated November–December 1930 it included materials from the First All-Union Yiddish Language Conference convened in Kiev from 8 to 13 February 1931 that issue is present here. Published under the imprint of the Central Publishing House this issue also signaled the demise of the remaining vestiges of the Kiev Kultur-lige. Yoysef Liberberg’s article 'Far parteyishkayt in der yidisher visnshaft-arbet' For a Party Approach to Yiddish Linguistics marked a full break with YIVO scholars particularly with YIVO director Max Weinreich whom Liberberg ridiculed for presenting Yiddish as an emanation of the Ashkenazic Jews’ soul. The Yiddish Language Conference decided to change the name of the journal. Between 1931 and 1939 it appeared sporadically under the title Afn shprakhfront On the Language Front reflecting its new more aggressive and politically charged approach' Gennady Estraikh in YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe 2010.

Begun in the mid-1920s as a study group of amateur worker-actors at one time there were nine separate studios with over 120 students in the 1930s the troupe went professional putting on at least two and often three new plays per season. With such plays as Jacob Mostel 's Strike Shmuel Godiner 's Jim Kooperkop Avrum Vevioka 's Diamonds and Maxim Gorky 's Egor Bulychev and Dostigaev and Others Artef spread propaganda to the masses. Ideologically Artef was far left; its hope was a Communist society here in America. As a troupe its role was 'agit-prop' to agitate and propagandize to serve as the cultural representative of radical workers. In fact most of its tickets were pre-sold through worker unions and at least in its early years Artef gave presentations at political events.<br> Its first large-scale production was Mass Play and Ballet of the Russian Revolution which appeared at the Lenin memorial celebration in Madison Square Garden on January 21 1928. <br> Artef 's greatest artistic and commercial successes were connected with the talented productions of director Benno Schneider. Schneider who had been active in the Zionist Habima troupe in Moscow wed aesthetic excellence to revolutionary ideology with his interpretation of Aristocrats an adaptation of Sholem Aleichem 's Mentshn. Incidentally Schneider earned such a positive reputation with Artef that he received offers to direct on Broadway a promotion that cost the radical Yiddish theater dearly. <br> The end of the Artef was gradual and its causes were closely associated with the reduced role of Yiddish in American life. But there were bright lights before the darkness. During the 'days of the Popular Front ' when the Communists formed associations with less radical leftist parties the Artef attracted a larger audience which led to an optimistic expansion that later was responsible for huge financial losses. The darkness occurred at the end of the thirties when the number of Yiddish speakers began to diminish. The last performance of the Artef was on July 7 1941." Review by Dr. Brian Horowitz of 'Yiddish Proletarian Theatre: The Art and Politics of the Artef 1925–1940 ' written by Edna Nahshon. <br> Many of the actors and directors in Artef went on to establish solid careers on Broadway Hollywood and for those blacklisted overseas. <br> Bound in brown velour wraps with gilt title.

In Mutual Aid which is widely regarded as his masterpiece he argued that despite the Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest cooperation rather than conflict is the chief factor in the evolution of species. Providing abundant examples he showed that sociability is a dominant feature at every level of the animal world. <br> Among humans too he found that mutual aid has been the rule rather than the exception. He traced the evolution of voluntary cooperation from the primitive tribe peasant village and medieval commune to a variety of modern associations—trade unions learned societies the Red Cross—that have continued to practice mutual support despite the rise of the coercive bureaucratic state. The trend of modern history he believed was pointing back toward decentralized nonpolitical cooperative societies in which people could develop their creative faculties without interference from rulers clerics or soldiers.â€<br> SUBJECTS: Anarchism.

OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. <br> Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. <br> Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales.

The city had hosted numerous similar rallies over the previous decade all focused on building opposition to Hitler and support for the struggling Jews of Europe. <br> <br> Beginning on March 4 1934 "One year after Hitler's ascension to power in Germany tens of thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear the words of Rabbi Stephen Wise. 'Despite the oceanic tragedy which has befallen us' Wise pronounced 'we Jews tonight joining in the chorus of civilization indict Hitlerism as humans as members of civilized society before the high court of human judgment.' <br> Wise's words resonated for audience members attending the rally that March night. Over the course of the evening they heard from a chorus of voices representing the American public self-identifying across different racial religious and ideological lines. Framed as a 'court' the speakers at the rally gathered to indict Hitler for his crimes against civilization an intentionally pointed term that would offend Nazi ideologues claiming to protect civilization through Aryan supremacy. This mock trial was part of a larger trend of American Jewish protest performances staged during the Third Reich that intended to garner support for the rescue of European Jews.<br> On March 27 the AJCongress American Jewish Congress successfully staged a rally titled Stop Hitler Now to an audience of twenty thousand Jews in Madison Square Garden. Outside of the Garden thirty-five thousand people stood protesting and ten thousand more marched through Brooklyn in solidarity. Simultaneous protests also occurred in major cities across the country. The United Press estimated that one million protesters participated in the nationwide demonstration that day. <br> In retaliation to the American uproar Hitler threatened a one-day boycott against German Jewish businesses to be resumed three days later if 'international protests' did not cease. Wise after speaking with Undersecretary William Phillips at the State Department agreed to a brief silence on the matter" Gonzalez Maya.
