Summary:

"The book presents Polish-Jewish cultural contacts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from an interdisciplinary perspective. Using methods from Jewish, cultural, and literary studies, Prokop-Janiec takes a topographical approach by focusing on selected places, institutional spaces, and texts from the borderland. The monograph covers rarely studied areas of literature, such as mass-circulated Polish-Jewish newspapers, Polish-Jewish serialized novels, textbooks, and children's literature. Transformations within anthropology and the development of a new conceptual framework in Jewish cultural studies provide an opportunity for reinterpreting modern multilingual Jewish culture and its relationships with non-Jewish cultures"-- Provided by publisher.
