Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...we owe a major debt of gratitude to Paul Gordiejew for this remarkably insightful study." -- Slavic Review

"Gordiejew certainly captures the complexity of community transformation in the midst of the ethno-nationalist crossfire ... an excellent description of Jewry living within the fission and fusion of the ethnic republics which comprise the Balkans." -- SHOFAR

"This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive portrait of post-war Yugoslav Jewry, and as such is an extremely valuable contribution to the literature on Jewish ethnicity." -- Guy H. Haskell, Emory University

Reseña del editor:

Examines the role of WWII in shaping Yugoslav Jewish identity in the post-war era, looking at a symbolic more than social community. Within this symbolic community, individuals attempt to bring some order into their lives by patching together a makeshift identity, with parts of their Jewishness self-selected, other parts imposed upon them, and still other parts embedded in their consciousness through a process of transference.
