Abstract

Most popular accounts of the Holocaust typically cast Jewish victims as meek and ask, 'Why didn't Jews resist?' But we know now that Jews did resist, staging armed uprisings in ghettos and camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe. In 'Hope and Honor,' Rachel L. Einwohner illustrates the dangers in attempting resistance under unimaginable conditions and shows how remarkable such resistance was. She draws on oral testimonies, published and unpublished diaries and memoirs, and other written materials produced both by survivors and those who perished to show how Jews living under Nazi occupation in the ghettos of Warsaw, Vilna, and Lodz reached decisions about resistance.

Abstract

Movements for social change are by their nature oppositional, as are those who join change movements. How people negotiate identity within social movements is one of the central concerns in the field.This volume offers new scholarship that explores issues of diversity and uniformity among social movement participants. Featuring case studies that range widely—from Jewish resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied Poland to antigay Christian movements in the United States to online white supremacy groups—the essays show how participants set aside issues of personal identity in order to merge together and how these processes affect mobilization and the attainment of goals.

Abstract

Women have long been involved in social movement activism in the United States, from the nation's beginning up to the present, and in waves of feminist activism as well as in a variety of other social movements, including the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and conservative mobilizations. The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Women's Social Movement Activism provides both a detailed and extensive examination of the wide range of U.S. women's collective efforts, as well as a broad overview of the scholarship on women's social movement struggles.
