Focusing on Eastern and Central Europe before WWII, this collection
explores various genres of "ethnoliterature" across temporal,
geographical, and ideological borders as sites of Jewish identity
formation and dissemination. Challenging the assumption of cultural
uniformity among Ashkenazi Jews, the contributors consider how
ethnographic literature defines Jews and Jewishness, the political
context of Jewish ethnography, and the question of audience,
readers, and listeners. With contributions from leading scholars
and an appendix of translated historical ethnographies, this volume
presents vivid case studies across linguistic and disciplinary
divides, revealing a rich textual history that throws the
complexity and diversity of a people into sharp relief.
