Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Focusing on art as resistance to anti-Semitic violence and as a way to rethink the past, Roskies (Jewish literature, Jewish Theological Seminary, New York City) analyzes the creative responses of "scribes of the ghetto" and other East European Jewish intellectuals in the 19th and 20th centuries. Originally published by Harvard U. Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
