Jews in Galicia. Studies in Culture, History, and Religion

This volume features a series of articles by researchers investigating different dimensions of Jewish life in Galicia and the former Galicia from 1772 to 1918. It is organized into four sections, each addressing a variety of subjects connected to the history and culture of Jews in the region. These subjects include the economic endeavors of the Jewish community, their social and political engagements, as well as the forms and institutions of Jewish cultural life, alongside artistic and literary practices. We are pleased that our call for submissions was met with enthusiasm by both long-established, respected researchers and emerging scholars. This blend provides a wide array of research perspectives and a thorough overview of current studies. The intention is for the articles within this collection to inspire further scholarly exploration. The editors' introduction emphasizes the significance of this compilation in deepening the understanding of Galicia's historical landscape. A notable strength of the volume is the variety of research angles, which not only complement each other but also engage in a productive dialogue. Alina Molisak of the University of Warsaw highlights in her review that each piece is meticulously documented and superbly composed, contributing significantly to the book's academic value.
