Alfred Low provides an up-to-date discussion of the problems facing Soviet Jewry and analyzes the contradictions of Soviet policy from its origins to the current nationality theory and practice. Starting with the rise of anti-Semitism under Stalin, this work focuses on the denunciation of Jewish "separatism" and Zionism and the prromotion of "amalgamation," the continuity between tsarist Jew-hatred and Soviet anti-Semitism, and the likely impact of reconstruction and Gorbachev's new thinking on Soviet Jewish policy.
