Rutgers University Press The New Jewish Diaspora - Rutgers University Press Book

Explore the massive shift in global demographics with The New Jewish Diaspora. This text provides the first English-language study of the Russian-speaking Jewish diaspora, a group that has grown significantly since 1900. While five million Jews lived in the Russian empire at the turn of the century, today there are four times as many Russian-speaking Jews living outside the former Soviet Union than within it. This book examines how this migration has changed the social, cultural, and political landscapes of key nations, specifically the United States, Israel, and Germany. Readers will gain insight into how these immigrant communities adapt to new environments while maintaining a shared cultural bond. It is an essential resource for those interested in history, sociology, and the movement of people across the modern world.
