The Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies Presents:
Zionism on the Jewish Street: Urban Geography and Jewish Nationalism at the Turn of the 20th Century
An International Conference
Sunday and Monday, March 7-8 2010, New York City
Jewish culture at the turn of the twentieth century was vibrant. And more than any other place, it was the cities – from the university halls of Vienna, the salons of Odessa, the cafes of Tel Aviv and the streets of New York – that were the birthplace of Zionism and Jewish diaspora nationalism. This conference will consider many sides of Jewish nationalism, including the emergence of mass politics and new expressions of modern Jewish culture in the press, visual culture, architecture and urban sphere.
