- Abstract
The Agro-Joint project (1924-1938), conceived and directed by the Russian-born American agronomist Joseph Rosen (1877-1949) and promoted by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, was one of the most effective and ambitious philanthropic relief programs envisioned and implemented for the resettlement and «productivization» of Russian Jews as avant-garde farmers in Soviet Crimea and southern Ukraine.The present paper discusses, from a planner and architect’s perspectives, some of the Agro-Joint plans, projects and planning reports contained in the J. Rosen archives stored at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (New York)., info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
