Polish Jewish Culture Beyond the Capital: Centering the Periphery
Editat de Professor Halina Goldberg, Professor Nancy Sinkoff Cu Professor Natalia Aleksiun Contribuţii de Zehavit Stern, Justin Cammy, Bozena Shallcross, Malgorzata Stolarska-Fronia, Naomi Seidman, Magdalena Kozlowska, Sylwia Jakubczyk-Sleczka, Marcos Silber, Alicja Maslak-Maciejewska, Eugenia Prokop-Janiec, Ela Bauer, Daniel Kupfert Helleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2023
Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery—from Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Łódź—and international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures.

Recenzii
“This splendid collection of essays breaks new ground in the study of Polish Jews and their cultural engagements. They redraw the map, bring centers and peripheries into unexpected relations, delineate cultural spaces in novel ways, and treat topics never before considered with a bracing freshness.”
"Polish Jewish life and culture has always been regional, diversely reflected in a multitude of centers from shtetlekh to urban working-class districts to provincial capitals. In this fascinating volume, leading scholars of Polish Jewry present original essays on the varieties of Jewish culture that once flourished in and around Poland."
Descriere

The contributors expertly reassert the belonging of Jews in Polish lands and showcase the multivalent texture of Polish Jewish cultural production before World War II.
