William W. Hagen shows that collective antiJewish violence enacted scenarios expressing wargenerated anxieties and resentments understood by perpetrators more in folkcultural than politicalideological terms.Widespread antiJewish pogroms accompanied the rebirth of Polish statehood out of World War I and PolishSoviet War. William W. Hagen offers the pogroms first scholarly account revealing how they served as brutal stagings by ordinary people of scenarios dramatizing popular antiJewish fears and resentments. While scholarship on modern antiSemitism has stressed its ideological inspiration (print antiSemitism) this study shows that antiJewish violence by perpetrators among civilians and soldiers expressed magicinfused anxieties and longings for redemption from present threats and suffering (folk antiSemitism). Illustrated with contemporary photographs and constructed from extensive newly discovered archival sources from three continents this is an innovative work in east European history. Using extensive firstperson testimonies it reveals gaps but also correspondences between popular attitudes and those of the political elite. The pogroms raged against the conscious will of new Polands governors whilst Christians high and low sometimes sought even successfully to block them.Introduction: culture and psychology of the PolishJewish relationship: Theoretical footnote: ethnic violence in social science and historiography: Part I.
