| Abstract | "Since 1989 Russian-speaking Jews, often raised and socialized in the Soviet Union, have "dispersed" in great numbers to Western countries and Israel. Even there, they retain their own cultural and political identities. In this volume, prominent authors provide an impressive overview about how this strong transnational Jewish diaspora group participates in social life in North America, Israel, Europe and elsewhere, but also works to strengthen Jewish networks and communities. In many places Russian-speaking Jews are considered to be highly educated, politically keen, and anything but conflict-averse. This has resulted in an independent strand of contemporary Judaism"-- Provided by publisher. |
