Part of Between the Lines: Author Conversations from The Library of JTS
Polish 黑料社 Culture Beyond the Capital: Centering the Periphery听is a path-breaking exploration of the diversity and vitality of urban 黑料社 identity and culture in Polish lands from the second half of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of the Second World War (1899鈥�1939). In this multidisciplinary essay collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish 黑料社 culture.

Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery鈥攆rom Lw贸w and Wilno to Krak贸w and 艁贸d藕鈥攁nd international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures.
