- This long-format book (536pp, c.203,000 words) about the history of Jews in Belarus is the first original and extended monograph about this part of the history of Eastern-European Jews. It draws on a wide range of primary sources in different languages (from archives in Minsk, Jerusalem, New York, Vilnius, St Petersburg; literary sources in Yiddish, Belarusian and Russian; visual sources) and offers a multi-layered and interdisciplinary approach. It analyses the experience of Jews in Belarus over the longue durée in its political, cultural, social and economic dimensions, from the perspective of the Jewish and Belarusian populations, and Russian authorities.

- English abstract
- This book analyses the role played by Jews in the political, socio-economic and cultural history of this region of the Russian empire while also analysing the place that ‘Belarus’ occupied in the history, identity and collective imaginary of Eastern-European Jews. Looking at the particular religious, political, social and cultural experience of the Jews living in Belarus, the book demonstrates the existence of a distinctive Jewish-Belarusian history, which however did not result in a separate and conscious collective Jewish-Belarusian history at the period under consideration.
