Long considered both a uniquely cosmopolitan and Jewish place, Odesa's Jewish character has shifted since the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine gained its independence. Drawing on extensive field research, Marina Sapritsky-Nahum, examines how the role of Russian language and culture, memories of the Soviet political project, and Odesan's place in a Ukrainian national project have all been questioned in recent years. Jewish Odesa reveals how a city once famous for its progressive Jewish traditions has become dominated by Orthodox Judaism and framed by the agendas of international Jewish organizations embedded in a religiosity that is foreign to the city. Russia's war in Ukraine has forced Jewish identities with ties to Odesa to change still further"-- OP - 346 CN - DS135.U42 O357 2024 SN - 0253070120 SN - 9780253070135 SN - 0253070139 SN - 9780253070128 SN - 9780253070104 SN - 9780253070111 KW - Jews : Ukraine : Odesa : History : 21st century.
