Established in 1897, the Jewish Labor Bund was once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe. Secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist, the Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.” Award-winning writer and artist Molly Crabapple offers the first popular history of the Bund in Here Where We Live Is Our Country. Naomi Klein called it “that rarest of books: a gripping, human story of love, idealism, and betrayal—and an immense, rigorous contribution to the historical record.” Crabapple will bring a revolutionary movement to life, and address its message of solidarity and liberation in our current place in history, in conversation with Peter Klein.
