NAOMI KLEIN

In 380 lush, high-tempo, strikingly poignant pages ... Crabapple documents the Bund's extraordinary rise and fall. The relevance of her material for our present moment is impossible to ignore

Crabapple's terrific Here Where We Live is Our Country unearths the story of a Jewish political movement that opposed ethnic nationalism of all stripes ... thrillingly energetic, delightful, vivid

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Vast in scope, elegiac in prose, this book brings to life the profound humanity of those who stood up to the blood soaked ethno-nationalisms that led to so many of the twentieth century's storied horrors. All the while, Crabapple never lets us forget that they were also fighting for a world that would not give rise to such evil. This book is many things: an ode to the grand legacy of anti-Zionist Jewishness; a profound reflection on whether history has morals; and an essential resource for anti-fascist history, concepts and tools. Molly Crabapple, with this great work, adds to her growing legacy as a unique American genius

JASON STANLEY, author of How Fascism Works

Molly Crabapple not only recounts, with a novelist's mastery of detail, one of the most extraordinary rebellions of the human spirit in modern history. She animates, too, elegantly and boldly, a political and spiritual tradition that the zealots of ethnonationalism had managed to suppress for too long. In the long battles ahead for truth and dignity, her book will be an indispensable resource

"Insurgent poets, antireligious rebels, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades” - sound like my kind of people
