Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of:
Now in paperback Making Jews Modern The Yiddish and Ladino Press in the Russian and Ottoman Empires Sarah Abrevaya Stein An engaging and thought-provoking analysis, . . . a pioneering foray into a new field of study, Jews and Empires in History. Slavic Review On the eve of the 20th century, Jews in the Russian and Ottoman empires were caught up in the major cultural and social transformations that constituted modernity for Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewries. What did it mean to be Jewish and Russian, Jewish and Ottoman, Jewish and modern? To answer these questions, Sarah Abrevaya Stein explores the texts most widely consumed by Jewish readers: popular newspapers in Yiddish and Ladino. This skillful comparative study yields new perspectives on the role of print culture in imagining national and transnational communities and the diverse ways in which modernity was envisioned under the rule of empire. <http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=40965>http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=40965 328 pages, 48 b&w photos 0-253-21893-4, paper $24.95 For Instructors If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: <http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122>http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
