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. 410 0$aJewish identities in post modern society. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aJewish communists$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBirobidzhan (Russia)$xHistory 607 $aEvrei?skai?a avtonomnai?a oblast?
