Jonathan Dekel-Chen opens an extraordinary window on Soviet rural life during these turbulent years, and he documents the remarkable relations that developed among the American-Jewish sponsors of the ambitious project, the Soviet authorities, and the colonists themselves.Drawing on extensive and largely untouched archives and a wealth of previously unpublished oral histories, the book revises what has been understood about these agricultural settlements. Dekel-Chen offers new conclusions about integration and separation among Soviet Jews, the contours of international relations, and the balance of political forces within the Jewish world during this volatile period. 606 $aJews$xColonization$zUkraine 606 $aAgricultural colonies$zUkraine 606 $aJewish farmers$zSoviet Union$xEconomic conditions 607 $aCrimea (Ukraine)$xColonization 607 $aUkraine, Southern$xColonization 607 $aSoviet Union$xColonies$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews$xColonization 615 0$aAgricultural colonies 615 0$aJewish farmers$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a947.7/1004924 700 $aDekel-Chen$b Jonathan L$0847387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963120703321 996 $aFarming the red land$94358085 997 $aUNINA
