Críticas:

"A valuable contribution to the increasingly growing bookshelf on real and imagined Yiddishlands. The paperback edition . . . makes the book accessible and easy to use. The volume will certainly spur interesting discussions in graduate and advanced undergraduate seminars on the history and culture of American Jewry."--Shiri Goren "American Jewish Archives Journal ""

Reseña del editor:

Yiddish is a rich, complex, and multilayered language, and that complexity is reflected in Yiddish culture. In "The Oys of Yiddish", Edward S. Shapiro has gathered a collection of lively essays on Yiddish literature, music, film, and journalism in the United States. This accessible volume demonstrates the enduring value of Yiddish culture through its reliance on solidarity, its artistic adaptability, and its balance of secular and religious characteristics. Shapiro also addresses the problems that have arisen when this vibrant language has been misunderstood or stereotyped, in a book that is sure to delight anyone interested in American Jewish culture.
