Autoemancipation, mahnruf an seine Stammesgenossen, von einem Russischen Juden [Autoemancipation!, by a Russian Jew]. Berlin: W. Issleib (G. Schuhr), 1882. 1st Edition. German.
"Autoemancipation", by Y.L Pinsker (1821-1891), physician, philosopher and Zionist activist, one of the founders of Hibat Zion movement. Pinsker published this book anonymously in 1882. In the book he explains that the dream of Jewish emancipation does not stand a chance, because hatred towards Jews has become a mental illness among the nations, which he calls "Judophobia". In this essay Pinsker deserts the hope for integration and calls for the establishment of a Jewish National Homeland, preferably in Palestine as a solution for the Jewish problem.
[2], 36 pp, 24 cm. Front cover is missing. Good condition. Spotting. Loose signatures.
