1st Edition. Original paper wrappers bound into period cloth, 4to, 6-16 pages per issue. In Yiddish. Includes some cartoons and other illustrations, including one we noticed by William Gropper. Der Yunion Arbayter (The Union Worker) lasted 2 volumes, running weekly until 1927. The first volume, complete, is here. A.L.G.V.Y / I.L.G.V.Y. stands for the Yiddish name for the heavily Yiddish speaking International Ladies Garment Workers Union; this newspaper was published by an Anarchist section within the union. Yiddish-speaking Jewish anarchists were one of the pillars of the U.S. anarchist movement before World War II. This largely immigrant radical milieu was centered in New York City and opposed capitalism, the state, and organized religion. Yiddish-speaking anarchists built militant unions, anarchist newspapers, and other organizations to further their cause. Many famous anarchists were linked to this movement, including Johann Most, Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, and Rudolf Rocker. Yiddish-speaking anarchists played a pivotal role in unions like the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU), while the Yiddish anarchist newspaper the Fraye Arbeter Shtime (The Free Voice of Labor) was the largest and longest-lasting U.S. anarchist publication and formed a significant part of the Yiddish cultural landscape. In the 1930s a second generation of bilingual Jewish anarchists emerged, including Sam and Esther Dolgoff, and Audrey Goodfriend, whose influence is still felt in todays anarchist movement.Despite the importance of Yiddish anarchism to the histories of both the U.S. Left and the Jewish community, it has been largely forgotten and written out of historical scholarship (YIVO).

Original Cloth. 8vo. XIII, 159; 546 pages. 24 cm. First edition; first appearance. In German. First volume (in two books) of the monumental The Prussian State and the Jews by Selma Stern. Teil I. Die Zeit des Grossen Kurfürsten und Friedrichs I. 1. Abt. Darstellung. 2. Abt. Akten. Akademie für die Wissenschaft des Judentums. Historische Sektion. Veröffentlichungen. Bd. 3. The voluminous publication is both an analysis and a source edition of the policy of the Prussian rulers towards the Jews from 1640 to 1786, covering the times from the Great Elector up to Frederick the Great. It is a social and economic history of the era leading up to the emancipation and assimilation of Prussia's Jewry. In it Stern emphasizes the relationship between the Prussian state and the Jewish minority. Highlighting the active role and interest of the Absolutist state (and its officialdom) in a gradual juridification of the status of the Jews, Sterns research offered, in the 1920s, a new perspective on Jewish emancipation. Her argument went beyond previous scholarly views on the subject, which had conceptualized Prussian-Jewish emancipation mainly as an outcome of the Enlightenment. Although dealing with early modern Prussian-Jewish history, Stern's research interest was clearly informed by contemporary concerns. - LBI Yearbook 2013. Selma Stern-Taeubler (18901981) , German historian. Selma Stern-Taeubler, born in Kippenheim (Baden) , was the first girl to attend the Gymnasium in Baden-Baden. She then studied history and languages at the universities of Heidelberg and Munich, graduating in 1913. She specialized at first in general German history, but became interested in the history of German Jewry. In 1919 she was appointed a research fellow at the Akademie fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin at the invitation of its founder and director, the historian Eugen Taeubler , whom she married in 1927. Her special field was compiling source material on the relationship between the Prussian state and its Jews from 1648 to 1812. Her scholarly publications were based on the premise that Judaism had to be studied in the context of the political and cultural environment. The first two volumes of her chief work, Der preussische Staat und die Juden, were published in 1925, and a third volume followed in 1938, but almost the entire edition was destroyed by the Nazis. - EJ 2008. She returned to her work on the Preussische Staat later in life, and published a total of four volumes (in eight books) between 1962 and 1971, under the auspices of the LBI.
