Recenzii

Jews in the East European Borderlands offers a dazzling cornucopia of pathbreaking scholarship on Russian Jewish history and culture. It is at once a fitting celebration of the life's work of a pioneering scholar and a moving tribute to his enduring influence.--James Loeffler "Author of The Most Musical Nation: Jews and Culture in the Late Russian Empire "
"This volume . . . is a real bonanza for scholars of Russian-Jewish history. The essays are of high quality overall, and the book may serve as a mirror of what is happening now in the field of Russian-Jewish history and literature. . . . Essays such as these help brand the field as more than merely a subfield of Russian or Jewish history, but as a high-quality discipline in its own right." --Brian Horowitz, Imre Kertesz Kolleg, Jena, Germany, and Tulane University; review published in Slavic Review (Vol. 72, No. 3, Fall 2013)
