Making Russians
Making Russians is a valuable and insightful examination, based on a solid archival foundation, of the nationalities policies in tsarist Russia's northwestern borderlands of Lithuania and Belarus. Making Russians explores the various strategies of Russification that the imperial government pursued largely unsuccessfully in this region. The book is essential reading for all students of imperial Russia. It has applications for the present as well, when issues of national identity continue to engage the citizens of both Russia and the states of the Former Soviet Union.John Klier, University College London
Cartoons and Antisemitism
Antisemitic caricatures had existed in Polish society since at least the mid-nineteenth century. But never had the devastating impacts of this imagery been fully realized or so blatantly apparent than on the eve of the Second World War. In Cartoons and Antisemitism: Visual Politics of Interwar Poland, scholar Ewa Stańczyk explores how illustrators conceived of Jewish people in satirical drawing and reflected on the burning political questions of the day. Incorporating hundreds of cartoons, satirical texts, and newspaper articles from the 1930s, Stańczyk investigates how a visual culture that was essentially hostile to Jews penetrated deep and wide into Polish print media. In her sensitive ...

Money, Power, and Influence in Eighteenth-Century Lithuania
It has often been claimed that Jews have a penchant for capitalism and capitalist economic activity. With this book, Adam Teller challenges that assumption. Examining how Jews achieved their extraordinary success within the late feudal economy of the eighteenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, he shows that economic success did not necessarily come through any innate entrepreneurial skills, but through identifying and exploiting economic niches in the pre-modern economy—in particular, the monopoly on the sale of grain alcohol. Jewish economic activity was a key factor in the development of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and it greatly enhanced the incomes, and thereby the socia...

Pogranicze polsko-żydowskie
Książka jest próbą przedstawienia topografii polsko-żydowskiego pogranicza: opisu jego wybranych miejsc, przestrzeni instytucjonalnych i tekstów. Punkt wyjścia stanowi refleksja nad przemianami rozumienia fenomenu pogranicza, jakie dokonały się w ostatnich dekadach w związku z przekształceniami w obrębie antropologii, studiów żydowskich i polskich badań antropologiczno-kulturowych, a także nad ukształtowanym w ich rezultacie nowym instrumentarium pojęciowym i jego znaczeniem dla reinterpretacji kulturowych kontaktów polsko-żydowskich. Wśród wyróżnionych w topograficznym oglądzie miejsc, przestrzeni i tekstów pogranicza znalazły się między innymi klasa szkolna jako jedna z kluczowych nowoczesnych stref polsko-żydowskiego kontaktu, żydowska prasa w języku polskim i periodyki będące wynikiem współobecności i współdziałania Polaków oraz Żydów, publikowana w wielkonakładowych polsko-żydowskich dziennikach powieść w odcinkach, narodowe opowieści dla dzieci, kobiece narracje asymilatorskie i przekłady literatury jidysz.

Politics and the Slavic Languages
During the last two centuries, ethnolinguistic nationalism has been the norm of nation building and state building in Central Europe. The number of recognized Slavic languages (in line with the normative political formula of language = nation = state) gradually tallied with the number of the Slavic nation-states, especially after the breakups of Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. But in the current age of borderless cyberspace, regional and minority Slavic languages are freely standardized and used, even when state authorities disapprove. As a result, since the turn of the 19th century, the number of Slavic languages has varied widely, from a single Slavic language to as many as 40. Through the story of Slavic languages, this timely book illustrates that decisions on what counts as a language are neither permanent nor stable, arguing that the politics of language is the politics in Central Europe. The monograph will prove to be an essential resource for scholars of linguistics and politics in Central Europe.
