Zipperstein, a leading expert in modern Jewish history, begins the book with an exploration of the imprint left by the Russian Jewish past on American Jews starting from the turn of the 20th century, considering literature ranging from immigrant novels to Fiddler on the Roof. He then returns to Russia, where he finds nostalgia in turn-of-the-century East European Jewry itself, in the transcripts of Jewish teachers' meetings, in novels contrasting life in acculturated Odessa with the more traditional towns already in a state of decline. The book closes with a provocative call for a greater awareness regarding how the Holocaust has influenced scholarship produced since the Shoah.
