"In a world of AI and fake news, it is refreshing to come across two sophisticated scholars who still remember that they are studying real people. They successfully brought together in one volume expert academic analyses of small-town (shtetl) life written by some of the best researchers from Eastern Europe together with a collection of exceptional primary sources. There is nothing like it. The Belarusian Shtetl is hard to put down and it is impossible to stop thinking about it."—Shaul Stampfer, Sandrow Professor of Soviet and East European Jewish History (emeritus), Hebrew University of Jerusalem
