Yiddish: A Global Culture: Bold Lives, Boundless Creativity

By David G Roskies and David Mazower

Yiddish: A Global Culture at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA is the first ever museum to showcase the extraordinary vibrancy and breadth of modern Yiddish culture--its literature, theater, art, music, journalism, politics--from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. This landmark exhibition catalog offers a panoramic view of Yiddish: A Global Culture to the general reader, placing the transnational story of Yiddish within broader world history. The 344 full-color pages include an eight-page gatefold of "Yiddishland," the exhibition's 60-foot mural, along with hundreds of stunning reproductions of artworks, rare artifacts, and other key exhibits. With illuminating introductory essays and a timeline highlighting the iconic figures, breakout creative masterpieces, and controversies of the Yiddish world, this volume brings to dramatic life the significance of one remarkable civilization and its ongoing legacy.
