Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- The Transnationalization of Struggles for Recognition An Introduction to a multidisciplinary field of research -- Part I Concepts -- Chapter 1 Struggles for Recognition Bridging Three Separated Spheres of Discourse -- Chapter 2 Understanding Transnational Social Movements: Potentials and Limits of Recognition Theory -- Part II The Cases for Jews and Women -- Chapter 3 ‘By the sacred ties of humanity and common decent’ The Transnationalization of Modern Jewish History and its Discontents -- Chapter 4 Institution Building and Policy Making at the Transnational Level: Challenges in the Early History of the World Jewish Congress -- Chapter 5 Jewish, Socialist, Anti-Zionist: The Bund and its Transnational Relations -- Chapter 6 Struggles for Recognition and the Concept of Gender in Twentieth-Century Poland -- Chapter 7 The Emergence of an Impossible Movement Domestic Workers Organize Globally -- Part III Enlarging the Scope -- Chapter 8 Peace Movements and the Politics of Recognition in the Cold War -- Chapter 9 Recognition across Difference Conceptual Considerations against an Indian Background -- Chapter 10 Injustice Symbols and Global Solidarity -- Index
Summary: Now more than ever, “recognition” represents a critical concept for social movements, both as a strategic tool and an important policy aim. While the subject’s theoretical and empirical dimensions have usually been studied separately, this interdisciplinary collection focuses on both  to examine the pursuit of recognition against a transnational backdrop. With a special  emphasis on the efforts of women’s and Jewish organizations in 20th-century Europe, the studies collected here show how recognition can be meaningfully understood in historical-analytical terms, while demonstrating the extent to which transnationalization determines a movement’s reach and effectiveness.
