£30.00 No image of pre revolutionary Russian Jewish life is more iconic than the fiddler on the roof. At a time of both rising anti-Semitism and burgeoning Jewish nationalism, how and why did Russian music become the gateway to Jewish modernity in music? This book offers a fresh perspective on the emergence of Russian Jewish culture and identity.
