Recovering 'Yiddishland': Threshold Moments In American Literature (Judaic Traditions In Literature, Music, And Art),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
According to traditional narratives of assimilation, in the bargain made for an American identity, Jews freely surrendered Yiddish language and culture. Or did they? Recovering 'Yiddishland' seeks to return readers to a threshold where Americanization also meant ambivalence and resistance. It reconstructs Yiddishland as a cultural space produced by Yiddish immigrant writers from the 1890s through the 1930s, largely within the sphere of New York. Rejecting conventional literary history, the book spotlights threshold texts in the unjustly forgotten literary project of these writerstexts that reveal unexpected and illuminating critiques of Americanization. Merle Lyn Bachman takes a fresh look at Abraham Cahans Yekl and Anzia Yezierskas Hungry Hearts, tracing in them a reinscription of the Yiddish world that various characters seem to be committed to leaving behind. She also translates for the first time Yiddish poems featuring AfricanAmericans that reflect the writers confrontation with their passage, as Jews, into white identities. Finally, Bachman discusses the modernist poet Mikhl Likht, whose simultaneous embrace of American literature and resistance to assimilating into English marked him as the supreme threshold poet. Conscious of the risks of any postmodernpostassimilationattempt to recover the past, Bachman invents the figure of the Yiddish student, whose comments can reflectand keep in checkthe nostalgia and naivete of the returnee to Yiddish.
