Efraim Sicher and Mirja Lecke, eds. Cosmopolitan Spaces in Odessa: A Case Study of an Urban Context. Academic Studies Press, Boston, 2023.
זה הספר הראשון שעוסק במרחבים קוסמופוליטיים בעיר אודסה, החל מימי ההשכלה והמודרניזם של התחלת המאה ה-20 עד ימינו אנו, כאשר המתיחות בין זהויות רוביות, יהודיות, ואוקראיניות עוברת משבר תחת הפצצה של הצבא הרוסי.
Cosmopolitan Spaces in Odesa: A Case Study of an Urban Context is the first book to explore Odesa’s cosmopolitan spaces in an urban context from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Leading scholars shed new light on encounters between Jewish, Ukrainian, and Russian cultures. They debate different understandings of cosmopolitanism as they are reflected in Odesa’s rich multilingual culture, ranging from intellectual history and education to music, opera, and literature. The issues of language and interethnic tensions, imperialist repression, and language choice are still with us today. Moreover, the book affords a historical view of what lay behind the Odesa myth, as well as insights into the Jewish and Ukrainian cultural revivals of the early twentieth century.
