1. Shtetls there and here : imagining Russia in America -- 2. Reinventing Heders -- 3. Remapping Odessa -- 4. On the Holocaust in the writing of the East European Jewish past
Summary
"This book explores the many, often overlapping ways in which the Russian Jewish past has been remembered in history, in literature, and in popular culture. Drawing on a wide range of sources - including novels, plays, and archival material - Imagining Russian Jews is a reflection on reading, collective memory and the often uneasy, and also uncomfortably intimate, relationships that exist between seemingly incompatible ways of seeing the past."--Jacket
