Beskrivning
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.

<P>"A beautiful work that tells the history of European Jewish life as a story of language in print, onstage, and in the home." —<I><B>Kirkus Reviews</B></I></P><P>“This book sat­is­fies as an object in its own right while tan­ta­liz­ing read­ers to vis­it the phys­i­cal exhi­bi­tion at [the] Yid­dish Book Cen­ter and enter the cul­tur­al imag­i­na­tion that [the] Yid­dish Book Cen­ter pre­serves and con­tin­ues to stoke.” —<B>Julie R. Enszer, Jewish Book Council</B></P><P>"In common with other catalogues of scrupulously-researched, magnificently-mounted exhibitions, combining beautifully-produced, visually-striking content with scholarly notes and essays, it illuminates its subject more successfully than much conventional literature." —<I><B>The Jewish Chronicle</B></I></P>
