Kieval examines the contours and distinctive features of Jewish experience in the lands of Bohemia and Moravia (the present-day Czech Republic), from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth century. In the Czech lands, Kieval writes, Jews have felt the need constantly to define and articulate the nature of group identity, cultural loyalty, memory, and social cohesiveness, and the period of "modernizing" absolutism, which began in 1780, brought changes of enormous significance. From that time forward, new relationships with Gentile society and with the culture of the state blurred the traditional outlines of community and individual identity. Kieval navigates skillfully among histories and myths as well as demography, biography, culture, and politics, illuminating the maze of allegiances and alliances that have molded the Jewish experience during these 200 years. 606 $aJews$zCzech Republic$xIntellectual life$y18th century 606 $aJews$zCzech Republic$xIntellectual life$y19th century 606 $aJews$xIdentity 607 $aCzech Republic$xEthnic relations 610 $aacculturation. 610 $aantisemitism. 610 $aashkenazim. 610 $aassimilation. 610 $abelonging. 610 $abohemia. 610 $abohemian jewish. 610 $abohemian jewry. 610 $abohmen. 610 $abohmischen. 610 $acentral europe. 610 $acommunity. 610 $aculture. 610 $aczech republic. 610 $aczech. 610 $afolk tale. 610 $afolklore. 610 $agentiles. 610 $agroup identity. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ajan hus. 610 $ajewish experience. 610 $ajewish life. 610 $ajewish. 610 $ajews. 610 $ajudaica. 610 $ajudaism. 610 $akahal. 610 $alanguage. 610 $alinguistics. 610 $amasaryk. 610 $amemory. 610 $amigration. 610 $amoravia. 610 $amyth. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aplace. 610 $aprague. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious pluralism. 610 $aritual murder. 610 $aritual. 610 $atradition. 610 $ayiddish. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a943.71/004924 700 $aKieval$b Hillel J$0676760 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780083803321 996 $aLanguages of community$93776019 997 $aUNINA
