Are the Jews a Race

"What is the truth of the Jewish claim of race What are the causes of anti-Semitism What is the future of Zionism and can an independent Jewish state in Palestine be realized These are the fundamental questions affecting the Jews which Karl Kautsky discusses in this penetrating book." - dust jacket. "An early attempt by one of the world's leading Jewish Communist theoreticians to counter early twentieth century anti-Semitism - which argued that Jews were an alien non-European race - by attempting to prove that the Jews do not constitute a specific race, but are rather a mixture of many different groups." - Bokus. "Appearing in English for the first time. The first German edition appeared in 1914, under the title Rasse und Judentum; the second edition, in 1921, already included a number of important additions and improvements, particularly the new chapter entitled 'Zionism After the War'. For this English version the author has revised and brought up to date the second German edition, in the light of recent developments in Palestine." - Publisher's Note. [10]-255, [1] pages. Index.
