Contents Making Jews Bolshevik -- Speculators, swindlers, and other Jews: regulating trade in revolutionary White Russia -- Jewish proletarians and proletarian Jews: the emancipation of labor in NEP society -- From Bolshevik Haskole to cultural revolution: Abram Beilin and the Jewish revolution -- Bundism and the nationalities question -- The politics of crisis: economy, ethnicity, and Trotskyism -- Antisemitism and the Stalin revolution Summary Jewish life was changed fundamentally as Jews joined the Bolshevik movement and populated the front lines of the revolutionary struggle. Andrew Sloin s story follows the arc of Bolshevik history but shows how the broader movement was enacted in factories and workshops, workers clubs and union meetings, and on the Jewish streets of White Russia. The protagonists here are shoemakers, speculators, glassmakers, peddlers, leatherworkers, needleworkers, soldiers, students, and local party operatives who were swept up, willingly or otherwise, into the Bolshevik project. Sloin stresses the fundamental relationship between economy and identity formation as party officials grappled with the Jewish Question in the wake of the revolution Notes Revision of the author's thesis (Ph.
