Proletpen "A useful and significant resource
for scholars, students and teachers of Yiddish and American poetry,
of Jewish and American This unique anthology translates for the
first time a little-known body of Yiddish poetry by American
Yiddish proletarian writers who identified with the American
Left from the 1920s to the early 1950s. Dovid Katz explains how
a McCarthy-era "American Yiddish Political Correctness"
wrote these leftist poets out of the canon. Amelia Glaser and
David Weintraub correct this erasure, recovering the work of
thirty poets. Proletpen introduces the reader to an untold chapter
of America's tumultuous history during the pre- and interwar
period, revealing the depth and power of Yiddish literature through
the backdrop of twentieth-century world politics. Amelia Glaser
received her Ph.D in comparative literature from Stanford |
