Language, food and memory: a talk & book signing

  • Pushkin House 5A Bloomsbury Square London, England, WC1A 2TA United Kingdom (map)

Join Alissa Timoshkina & Marina Sapritsky-Nahum for a conversation with Nadia Ragozhina about the evolution of Jewish heritage and identity in Russia and Ukraine, and the influence of Soviet hegemony, anti-Semitism and migration. Sapritsky-Nahum and Timoshkina will look in particular at the role language and food culture have played in preserving heritage among communities as well as the new, post-Soviet Jewish traditions that have evolved through the diaspora experience of migration, adaptability, resilience and change.
