Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern focuses on five writers and poets of Jewish descent whose literary activities span the 1880's to the 1990's. Unlike their East European contemporaries who disparaged the culture of Ukraine as second-rate, stateless, and colonial, these individuals embraced the Russian- and Soviet-dominated Ukrainian community, incorporating their Jewish concerns in their Ukrainian-language writings. The author argues that the marginality of these literati as Jews fueled their sympathy toward Ukrainians and their national cause. Providing extensive historical background, biographical detail, and analysis of each writer's poetry and prose, Petrovsky-Shtern shows how a Ukrainian-Jewish literary tradition emerged. Along the way, he challenges assumptions about modern Jewish acculturation and Ukrainian-Jewish relations.Jewish literatureUkraineHistory and criticismJews in literatureJewish authorsUkraineJewsUkraineHistory19th centuryUkraineIn literatureUkraineEthnic relationsJewish literatureHistory and criticism.Jews in literature.Jewish authorsJewsHistory947.7/004924Petrovskiĭ-Shtern Ĭokhanan1576399MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778094403321The anti-imperial choice3854165UNINA
