Culture Front: Representing Jews in Eastern EuropeBenjamin Nathans, Gabriella Safran University of Pennsylvania Press, 06.02.2008 - 323 Seiten For most of the last four centuries, the broad expanse of territory between the Baltic and the Black Seas, known since the Enlightenment as "Eastern Europe," has been home to the world's largest Jewish population.

Their volatile blend of religious traditionalism and precocious quests for collective self-emancipation lies at the heart of Culture Front. |
