At a time when racism and xenophobia are being institutionalized in the United States and once again sweeping Europe, Here Where We Live Is Our Country should give succour to those seeking inspiration for their own forms of resistance today. Molly Crabapple is a masterful storyteller who possesses an admirable sense of history and writes with verve and wit. In this book, she tells not only the fascinating, long neglected story of the socialist fighters of the Jewish Bund - but also those of Zionism, Soviet communism, fascism, the plague of antisemitism - and explains how it has all fuelled the unfinished duels of the present day. Remarkable for its historical sweep as well as its timeliness, Here Where We Live Is Our Country is a true tour de force
