A surprising number of Jews lived, literally and figuratively,
"beyond the Pale" of Jewish Settlement in tsarist Russia during the
half-century before the Revolution of 1917. Thanks to the
availability of long-closed Russian archives, along with a wide
range of other sources, Benjamin Nathans reinterprets the history
of the Russian-Jewish encounter. In the wake of Russia's "Great
Reforms," Nathans writes, a policy of selective integration
stimulated social and geographic mobility among the empire's Jews.
The reaction that culminated, toward the turn of the century, in
ethnic restrictions on admission to universities, the professions,
and other institutions of civil society reflected broad anxieties
that Russians were being placed at a disadvantage in their own
empire. Nathans's conclusions about the effects of selective
integration and the Russian-Jewish encounter during this formative
period will be of great interest to all students of modern Jewish
and modern Russian history.
