Told in an engaging graphic novel format, The Bund explains the oppressive origins of Jewish resistance in Ukraine, Poland, and the "Pale of Settlement" in Tsarist Russia. Jewish people adapted to industrialization and organized against exploitation. As they became more divided along the linguistic borders of Yiddish and Hebrew, Jewish people split between those who sought a distant ancestral homeland, others who emigrated and adapted to the "new world," and many more who fought against murderous Soviet and Nazi regimes. Charismatic resistance figures including Pati Kremer and Bernard Goldstein kept secular and progressive ideas alive against impossible odds in this graphic account of a little-known story. The first of its kind, this graphic history of Jewish labour resistance lays bare evidence of a radical past that can have massive implications for leftist Jewish struggles today.

Industry Reviews

"What can you say about an organization that was a union, a social movement, a political party, a culture-producing machine and a loving, contentious community all at the same time? Perhaps only that it's a model for the politics we need right now. It's no surprise that interest in the Bund is surging in young leftist circles these days, and this excellent populist primer fills an urgent need. This book also embodies the Bund's own deep commitment to inclusive, radical popular education: buy it, inhale it, pass it on!" - Avi Lewis, filmmaker, teacher, activist, politician, 4th generation Bundist // "Deeply relevant to today's political debates, The Bund reminds us that throughout history many groups of Jews were themselves anti-Zionist. The Bund thus challenges the false and dangerous narrative that anti-Zionism equates to anti-Semitism." - Zelda Abramson, professor emerita, Department of Sociology, Acadia University; co-author of The Montreal Shtetl: Making Home After the Holocaust
