Review of As the Dust of the Earth: The Literature of Abandonment in Revolutionary Russia and Ukraine by Harriet Murav
Hannah Pollin-Galay
The sophisticated method, the humane subject matter, the bold interpretations and the careful historical research all make Dust of the Earth a potent model for contemporary scholarship—in Yiddish Studies and beyond. In a moment when an increasing number of people across the globe find themselves in a political and social state of hefkeris, up for grabs and abandoned by their allies and leaders, Murav shows us that literature offers one small, but powerful path back to humanity.
