Daniel Unowsky's book isn't about a genocide or other incident of mass violence. Instead, The Plunder examines a series of riots against Jews in Habsburg Galicia in the year 1898. Unowsky tries to understand how, in an Empire built around the idea of the rule of law, anti-Jewish violence could erupt so quickly and then fade away almost as rapidly. Unowsky examines the riots in detail, exploring their background, the personalities and the background of the perpetrators, and the responses of the victims and the state. His research is careful and thorough and his narrative captivating. In particular, his examination of the trials that followed the violence and the light they shed on the Habsburg state and world view is fascinating.   But saying his book isn't about a genocide isn't the same as saying it isn't about genocide. The question he lays out, why 'normal' people commit racialized violence, is at the core of the discipline. Unowsky's book has important implications for the way violence erupted again in the region after World War One. And it adds another case study to the growing body of literature examining the microcauses of mass violence.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to the Torah of Life podcast. Thanks for listening. This week's interview is with Dr. Daniel Unowsky, who teaches at the University of Memphis. Professor Unowsky's latest work, The Plunder, examines several months of anti-Jewish violence in Hapsburg in 1898. After protesting the Unite the Right rally in Washington, I was especially intrigued by the rise and fall of nationalist movements. When do they arise? Why do they happen? How do or should Jewish communities respond? What lessons can we learn from the terrible violence of 1898, and how can we use that learning to ensure a better 2018 and beyond?   For more information and to purchase copies of The Plunder, visit: https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=25946 or https://www.amazon.com/Plunder-Anti-Jewish-Habsburg-Galicia-Stanford/dp/0804799822/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534131337&sr=8-1&keywords=unowsky To connect with Dr. Unowsky, or to see his other works, visit: http://www.memphis.edu/history/faculty/faculty/daniel-unowsky.php   Thanks again for listening to the Torah of Life podcast, your home for transformational wisdom from a Jewish lens.
