Victor Karady is senior research director with the French CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) in Paris; recurrent professor at the Central European University in Budapest
"Karady's book cogently analyzes the structural transformations of
European Jewry from the 18th century to the present, with data
drawn from cases as disparate as liberal England and Bolshevik
Russia. The book's four long chapters examine demography and social
stratification, Jewish emancipation, identity strategies after the
Haskalah, and antisemitism and the Shoah; a long epilogue ties
together these themes for the era after 1945. Lucidly written and
well translated, Karady's book offers many important insights into
the main historical processes and structures of the modern
era."
