Book reviews: Kiev, Jewish Metropolis

"Natan M. Meir’s Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859–1914 is a rich social, cultural, and institutional history of Jewish life in one of its most important and hitherto least understood urban centers." —The Journal of Modern History

"Meir’s book provides a broad history of Jewish Kiev in the half-century between the loosening of residence restrictions and the outbreak of the First World War, and gives an exceptionally rich portrait of the complex and changing nature of Kiev’s Jewish community." —Revolutionary Russia
