Summary

 "The Jewish Century" by Yuri Slezkine presents a groundbreaking analysis of the pivotal role Jewish people have played in shaping the modern world. Slezkine argues that the 20th century was, in essence, the Jewish century, as Jewish culture and values came to epitomize modernity. The book explores the transformation of Jews from marginalized outsiders to central figures in Western society, touching on themes of diaspora, identity, and the universalization of Jewish traits and cultural practices. By examining the role of Jews in the Soviet Union, America, and beyond, Slezkine offers a provocative and thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional views of history.
