Noah Prylucki (18821941), a leading Jewish cultural and political figure 
in pre-Holocaust Eastern Europe, was a proponent of Yiddishism, a movement 
that promoted secular Yiddish culture as the basis for Jewish collective 
identity in the twentieth century. Prylucki' dramatic path  from russified 
Zionist raised in a Ukrainian shtetl, to Diaspora nationalist 
parliamentarian in metropolitan Warsaw, to professor of Yiddish in Soviet 
Lithuania  uniquely reflects the dilemmas and competing options facing the 
Jews of this era as life in Eastern Europe underwent radical 
transformation. Using hitherto unexplored archival sources, memoirs, 
interviews, and materials from the vibrant interwar Jewish and Polish 
presses, Kalman Weiser investigates the rise and fall of Yiddishism and of 
Prylucki' political party, the Folkists, in the post-World War One era. 
Jewish People, Yiddish Nation reveals the life of a remarkable individual 
and the fortunes of a major cultural movement that has long been obscured.

Kalman (Keith) Weiser is the Silber Family Professor of Modern Jewish 
Studies in the Centre for Jewish Studies at York University.
