This pioneering study is the first to show how Jews have been seen
through modern Ukrainian literature. Myroslav Shkandrij uses
evidence found within that literature to challenge the established
view that the Ukrainian and Jewish communities were antagonistic
toward one another and interacted only when compelled to do so by
economic necessity. "Jews in Ukrainian Literature" synthesizes
recent research in the West and in the Ukraine, where access to
Soviet-era literature has become possible only in the recent,
post-independence period. Many of the works discussed are either
little-known or unknown in the West. By demonstrating how
Ukrainians have imagined their historical encounters with Jews in
different ways over the decades, this account also shows how the
Jewish presence has contributed to the acceptance of cultural
diversity within contemporary Ukraine.
