Cross-listed: Russian & Eurasian Studies
Eastern Europe was the largest and most vibrant
center of Jewish life for three hundred years prior to the Holocaust. In that
period East European Jewry underwent a wrenching process of modernization,
creating radically new forms of community, culture, and political organization
that still shape Jewish life today in the United States and Israel. Yet this
rich history is often obscured by nostalgic stereotypes of the shtetl in
popular culture. We will begin by dissecting such stereotypes and comparing
them to the realities of traditional Jewish society. We will then consider
topics including the rise of Chasidism and Haskalah (Enlightenment), modern
Jewish political movements including Zionism, and pogroms and Russian
government policy towards the Jews. Course materials will include both primary
and secondary historical sources, as well as literature and film of the period
under study. On-line
