"Zipperstein's monograph covers the cultural life of Odessa's Jews from the founding of the city...to the pogroms that struck Russia's Jews in 1881 following the assassination of Alexander II. He surveys migration by Jews to the new city, the institutions they created, the pattern of their economic activity, and the content of their cultural and intellectual life as they evolved over nearly a century."American History Review
