Becoming Austrians - Jews and Culture Between the World Wars

Zusatztext Silverman's book brings new and well-deserved attention to the interwar period, adds analytic rigour to the field of Jewish and central European cultural history, and embeds its insights in rich cultural historical material. This is an important book that will hopefully spawn more attempts to break down the category of 'Jew' and 'non-Jew' while also theorizing about the creation of central European culture. Informationen zum Autor Lisa Silverman is assistant professor of history, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. She is co-editor with Deborah Holmes of Interwar Vienna. Klappentext By isolating the years between the World Wars and examining formative events in both Vienna and the provinces, this book demonstrates that an intensified marking of people, places, and events as "Jewish" accompanied the crises occurring in the wake of Austria-Hungary's collapse, leaving profound effects on Austria's cultural legacy.
