About This Event
Join the Workers Circle for a book talk and discussion with Molly Crabapple, New York Times bestselling author of Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund.
We’ll hear from Molly about how she came to write her ground-breaking popular history of the Jewish Labor Bund, tracing the origins of this proudly secular, socialist, and anti-Zionist Eastern European political force.
In particular, we will explore the deep connections between the early Workers Circle and the Bund, the Bund’s relationship with Yiddish, the meaning of doikayt (hereness) and solidarity in the face of nationalism and state violence, and what all those seeking to build a better and more beautiful world today can learn from our movement ancestors in the Jewish Labor Bund.
