商品簡介
In a study that reflects her Israeli background with "Yiddishlands" roots, Chaver (Yiddish, U. of California, Berkeley) challenges mainstream history claims that the state of Israel totally repudiated Yiddish culture when Zionists chose Hebrew as the national language. Critiquing this rebirth narrative in light of polysystem theory, she examines how Zionists appropriated pre-modern and modern Yiddish fiction and poetry. Photos feature early Zionist settlers, art, and a 1927 poster protesting the establishment of Yiddish studies at Hebrew University-Jerusalem.
