Race for the Future - Scientific Visions of Modern Russian Jewishness

Amid the nationalization of Russian imperial politics, Jews developed a powerful version of race science and biopolitics as a response to their colonial condition, nonterritoriality, and exclusion from looming postimperial modernity. Marina Mogilner explores this story in the context of Russia’s turbulent early twentieth century.
