"An urban biography, Brody : A Galician Border City in the Long Nineteenth Century
reconciles 150 years of the town's socioeconomic history with its cultural memory.
The first comprehensive study of this city under Habsburg-Austrian rule, Börries
Kuzmany advises against reading urban history solely through the national lens. Besides
exploring Brody's extraordinary ethno-confessional structure--Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians--Kuzmany
examines the interrelation between the city's geographical location at the imperial
border, its standing as a key commercial hub in East-Central Europe, and its position
as a major springboard for the dissemination of the Haskalah in Galicia and the Russian
Empire. After delving into the contradictory perceptions of Brody in travelogues,
fiction and memory books, Kuzmany uses contemporary and historical photographs to
provide an illustrated walking tour of this now Ukrainian town"--Publisher description
