This book explores anti-Jewish violence in Russian-ruled Lithuania.
It begins by illustrating how widespread anti-Jewish feelings were
among the Christian population in 19 th century, focusing on blood
libel accusations as well as describing the role of modern
antisemitism. Secondly, it tries to identify the structural
preconditions as well as specific triggers that turned anti-Jewish
feelings into collective violence and analyzes the nature of this
violence. Lastly, pogroms in Lithuania are compared to anti-Jewish
violence in other regions of the Russian Empire and East Galicia.
This research is inspired by the cultural turn in social sciences,
an approach that assumes that violence is filled with meaning,
which is "culturally constructed, discursively mediated,
symbolically saturated, and ritually regulated." The author argues
that pogroms in Lithuania instead followed a communal pattern of
ethnic violence and was very different from deadly pogroms in other
parts of the Russian Empire.
