jacobhermant 's review for:

Jewish Rights, National Rites: Nationalism and Autonomy in Late Imperial and Revolutionary Russia by Simon Rabinovitch

---

Tracks its focal concept (Jewish autonomism) very clearly through a 50-year period, really interesting and well-written. At a few points, especially near the end, I think the author shows his hand re. Zionism in ways I find very annoying, but he mostly takes the ideas here very seriously.
