Making extensive use of Yiddish-language books, newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, and other materials, Dreams of Nationhood traces the ideological and material support provided to the Jewish Autonomous Region of Birobidzhan, located in the far east of the Soviet Union, by two American Jewish Communist-led organizations, the ICOR and the American Birobidzhan Committee. By providing a detailed historical examination of the political work of these two groups, the book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century Jewish life in the United States.Jewish identities in post modern society.JewsUnited StatesPolitics and government20th centuryJewish communistsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryCommunismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryBirobidzhan (Russia)HistoryEvreĭskai͡a avtonomnai͡a oblastʹ (Russia)HistoryJewsPolitics and governmentJewish communistsHistoryCommunismHistory973/.04924Srebrnik Henry Felix915071National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
