Peasant Violence and Antisemitism in Early Twentieth-Century Eastern Europe

Focusing on the Romanian peasant uprising of 1907, this transnational study examines the interplay of rural and anti-Semitic violence in the borderlands of Austria-Hungary, Romania, and Tsarist Russia. It delves into the social and political issues of the era, including rural poverty and the Jewish Question, while analyzing how the uprising resonated across the region. The book investigates the mechanisms of violence, the role of rumor, land reforms, policing in the borderlands, and the impact of media and diplomatic responses to the crisis.
