The mass migration of East European Jews and their resettlement
in cities throughout Europe, the United States, Argentina, the
Middle East and Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
not only transformed the demographic and cultural centers of world
Jewry, it also reshaped Jews' understanding and performance of
their diasporic identities. Rebecca Kobrin's study of the dispersal
of Jews from one city in Poland Bialystok demonstrates how the act
of migration set in motion a wide range of transformations that led
the migrants to imagine themselves as exiles not only from the
mythic Land of Israel but most immediately from their east European
homeland. Kobrin explores the organizations, institutions,
newspapers, and philanthropies that the Bialystokers created around
the world and that reshaped their perceptions of exile and
diaspora."
