The emerging Jewish national consciousness in Europe toward the end of the 19th century claims many spiritual fathers, some of which have been seriously underestimated so far. Zionist intellectuals such as Moses Hess, Leon Pinsker and Isaac Rulf were already committed to the self-liberation of the Jewish people long before Theodor Herzl.

In a market long dominated by Hollywood, French films are consistently the most widely distributed non-English language works.

In so doing they provide a fascinating account of this particular instance of transnational cinematic traffic while...

In this social and cultural history of Czechoslovakia's "gentle revolution," James Krapfl shifts the focus away from elites to ordinary citizens who endeavored from the outbreak of revolution in 1989 to the demise of the Czechoslovak federation in 1992 to establish a new, democratic political culture.
