Everyday Jewish Life in Imperial Russia: Select Documents, 1772–1914 (The Tauber Institute Series for the Study of European Jewry)
- Brand New in box. The product ships with all relevant accessories
This book makes accessibleâ€”for the first time in Englishâ€”declassified archival documents from the former Soviet Union, rabbinic sources, and previously untranslated memoirs, illuminating everyday Jewish life as the site of interaction and negotiation among and between neighbors, society, and the Russian state, from the beginning of the nineteenth century to World War I. Focusing on religion, family, health, sexuality, work, and politics, these documents provide an intimate portrait of the rich diversity of Jewish life. By personalizing collective experience through individual life storiesâ€”reflecting not only the typical but also the extraordinaryâ€”the sources reveal the tensions and ruptures in a vanished society. An introductory survey of Russian Jewish history from the Polish partitions (1772â€“1795) to World War I combines with prefatory remarks, textual annotations, and a bibliography of suggested readings to provide a new perspective on the history of the Jews of Russia.
