Winner of the 2022 Ab Imperio Award Hoping to unite all of
humankind and revolutionize the world, Ludwik Zamenhof launched a
new international language called Esperanto from late imperial
Russia in 1887. Ordinary men and women in Russia and all over the
world soon transformed Esperanto into a global movement. Esperanto
and Languages of Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia traces
the history and legacy of this effort: from Esperanto's roots in
the social turmoil of the pre-revolutionary Pale of Settlement; to
its links to socialist internationalism and Comintern bids for
world revolution; and, finally, to the demise of the Soviet
Esperanto movement in the increasingly xenophobic Stalinist 1930s.
In doing so, this book reveals how Esperanto - and global language
politics more broadly - shaped revolutionary and early Soviet
Russia. Based on extensive archival materials, Brigid O'Keeffe's
book provides the first in-depth exploration of Esperanto at
grassroots level and sheds new light on a hitherto overlooked area
of Russian history. As such, Esperanto and Languages of
Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia will be of immense value
to both historians of modern Russia and scholars of
internationalism, transnational networks, and sociolinguistics.
