Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Mexico is a country of fascinating contrasts--glorious history and tumultuous politics, extraordinary culture and desperate poverty, ancient traditions and rapid modernization.

The New York Times Book Review : "As the authors of this brilliant history point out, the Great Game was a dry run for the cold war, avoiding outright conflict but marked by the same search for influence and the same displays of bravery and cussedness, though whether the story of the cold war will ever seem as exciting as this, I doubt.

The four~volume series is a project of the Leo Baeck Institute, established in 1955 in Jerusalem, London, and New York for the purpose of advancing scholarship on the Jews in German~speaking lands. Emancipation and Acculturation: 1780~1871, the second of the four volumes to be published by Columbia University Press, focuses on a period of fundamental political, economic, and social change chat permanently transformed German Jewry. The book begins in the 1780s, with Stefi Jersch~Wenzel's discussion of Christian Wilhelm Dohrn's programmatic work, On the Civil Improvement of the Jews, in Prussia and Habsburg Emperor Joseph II's toleration edicts, two monumental events that paved the way toward Jewish civil equality. The Jews' emancipation, however, usually depended on their willingness to reeducate themselves as Germans. Michael A. Meyer traces this transformation, revealing it as an act of both political expediency and a personal desire for acculturation. Thus, Jews redefined their identity more narrowly as a religious denomination and eagerly adopted the German language and culture. Although succeeding decades still saw widespread resistance to the granting of equal rights to the Jewish minority~sometimes manifested in outbreaks of violence ~ the period was characterized by a general feeling of optimism as economic success and a sense of bourgeois well~being gradually became realities. But even the political equality gained at the end of the period did not entail universal social or cultural acceptance. Michael Brenner discusses how, despite their expressions of patriotism, Jews remained subject to widespread discrimination and resistance. The volume also explores how Jews dealt with Christianity in German culture and with German Christianity's insistent denial of Judaism's viability; how they sustained and developed their community in the face of pressures to diminish or abandon Jewish identity; how they adapted their faith to modern sensibilities, creating new forms of Jewish belief and practice; and how leading Jewish writers and intellectuals, like Heinrich Heine and Berthold Auerbach, coped with the ambiguities of expressing Jewishness in Germany. Carefully researched and accessible to general readers, this second volume of German~Jewish History in Modern Times is an indispensable resource for understanding the complex process by which Jews became an integral part of the modern world.…
