The papers in this volume, most of them presented at the second Mendel Friedman International Yiddish Conference organized by the University of Oxford European Humanities Research Centre and the Oxford Institute for Yiddish Studies (July 1999), re-examine the structure, organization and function of the numerous small market towns that shaped the Yiddish-speaking world. The different perspectives from which these studies view the shtetl trenchantly re-evaluate common preconceptions, misconceptions and assumptions, offering new insights that are as challenging as they are informative.
