Yiddish and the Creation of Soviet Jewish Culture gives voice to
the Soviet Jewish activists empowered by the state to create a
Soviet Jewish national culture. Jewish activists were interested in
building a Soviet Jewish culture because they were striving for a
national revolution - the creation of a new culture through which
Jews would identify as Jews on new, secular, Soviet terms. This
book explores the ways in which Jews were part of, not apart from,
the Soviet system and Jewish history. Soviet Jewish culture worked
within contemporary Jewish national and cultural 1920s trends and
simultaneously participated in the larger project of propagating
the Soviet state and ideology. Soviet Jewish activists were not
nationalists or Soviets, but both at once. David Shneer addresses
some of the painful truths about the Jews' own implication and
imbrication in the system and places his analysis in the context of
wider twentieth-century culture.
