Ordinary men and women in Russia and all over the world soon transformed Esperanto into a global movement. Esperanto and Languages of Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia traces the history and legacy of this effort: from Esperanto's roots in the social turmoil of the pre-revolutionary Pale of Settlement; to its links to socialist internationalism and Comintern bids for world revolution; and, finally, to the demise of the Soviet Esperanto movement in the increasingly xenophobic Stalinist 1930s. In doing so, this book reveals how Esperanto - and global language politics more broadly - shaped revolutionary and early Soviet Russia. Based on extensive archival materials, Brigid O'Keeffe's book provides the first in-depth exploration of Esperanto at grassroots level and sheds new light on a hitherto overlooked area of Russian history. As such, Esperanto and Languages of Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia will be of immense value to both historians of modern Russia and scholars of internationalism, transnational networks, and sociolinguistics"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Esperanto |xHistory. 650 0 Esperanto |xSocial aspects. 650 7 Esperanto. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00915363 650 7 Esperanto |xSocial aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00915367 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:O'Keeffe, Brigid, |tEsperanto and languages of internationalism in revolutionary Russia |dNew York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2021. |z9781350160668 |w(DLC) 2020055614 910 |cG0601mon 914 (OCoLC)on1202058832 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f1202058832 980 |i115.00 |j94.30 |n40030575236 982 |bFY22 |cf |n2022 |q32101112678378 986 |hPM8209 |i.O34 2021
