Book review. Monograph by Ina Pukelytė “Žydų teatras tarpukario Lietuvoje” (“Jewish Theatre in Lithuania During the Interwar Period”)

Abstract

Ina Pukelytė’s “Žydų teatras tarpukario Lietuvoje” (2017) is a noteworthy book on several accounts. First, it clearly demonstrates the tension between Rankean and post-positivist historiographies. Pukelytės’s book, being the first to attempt to map the presence of Jewish (mainly Yiddish) theatre in the territory of Lithuania, relies a lot on archival research.
