The Making of Jewish Revolutionaries in the Pale of Settlement
My work analyzes the combination of change in both “structure of feeling” and social identity among working-class Jewish youth of the Pale of Settlement during the first Russian revolution. I claim that these changes eventually resulted in the creation of a new image that a young Jew could choose for her/himself - an image of a working-class Jewish revolutionary. It also contributed to a greater openness of the Jewish community to the idea of a secular Jew. The revolutionary youth created a new cultural space within the hierarchy of the Jewish community, based on their combined new and old identities as revolutionaries and Jews.
