Reinventing Tradition

Více o knize

The book delves into the reinvention of Jewish tradition within Russian-Jewish literature, tracing its evolution from a backdrop of assimilation, the Holocaust, and decades under Communism. It highlights the emergence of this cultural revival among Jewish dissidents in the late-Soviet underground during the 1960s and 1970s, illustrating how these themes resonate in contemporary literature. Through this exploration, the author examines the complex interplay between identity, culture, and historical context in shaping Jewish narrative.
