The legacy of the Jewish presence in those countries, and the ways in which it became enmeshed in the quest by people of the region--Jews and non-Jews alike--to secure their future, highlights fundamental issues about the politics of memory, national identity, and the relative stability of regimes in the region. If those questions were important even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, understanding their implications now seems even more crucial. In a field fraught with conflicting narratives, the challenges of social and political reconstruction are primary concerns for peoples and governments. The experts contributing to this volume apply interdisciplinary approaches to analyze and interpret a multiplicity of post-communist social realities and aid our understanding of recent events.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 243mmItem Length: 162mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 576gContributor: Eli Lederhendler (Volume editor)Author: Eli LederhendlerGenre: HistoryTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY JEWRYRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
