After the Holocaust, Soviet repression, and American assimilation, the survival of traditional Yiddish literature depends on translation, yet a few Yiddish classics have been translated repeatedly while many others have been ignored. Anita Norich traces historical and aesthetic shifts through versions of these canonical texts, and she argues that these works and their translations form an enlightening conversation about Jewish history and identity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347784765713,"sku":"CIN0295992972G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53013777088785,"sku":"NIN9780295992976","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0295992972.jpg?v=1767175297"},{"product_id":"discovering-exile-book-anita-norich-9780804756907","title":"Discovering Exile","description":"Discovering Exile analyzes American Yiddish culture and its development during the European Holocaust and shows how our understanding of American Jewish culture has been utterly distorted by the omission of this context. It explores responses to some of the most intense cultural controversies of the period, examining texts in various genres written by the most important Yiddish writers and critics and placing them at the center of discussions of literary modernism and cultural modernity. Anglo-Jewish writers of the period provide a counterpoint to and commentary on this Yiddish story. Norich seeks to demythologize Yiddish as mame-loshn (mother tongue)—as merely the language of the home and the past—by returning to a time of great, if ironic, vibrancy, when Yiddish writers confronted the very nature of their existence in unprecedented ways. Under increasing pressure of news from the war front and silence from home, these writers re-imagined modernism, the Enlightenment, political engagement, literary conventions, and symbolic language.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51283088245009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51283090964753,"sku":"NIN9780804756907","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804756902.jpg?v=1757413144"},{"product_id":"israel-joshua-singer-volume-3-book-anita-norich-9781613292167","title":"Israel Joshua Singer, Volume 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExploring the history of American protest movements through an archaeological perspective, connecting protests of the past with resistance today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, April Beisaw and Dania Jordan-Talley use historical and contemporary archaeology to explore the past 400 years of American protest history. \u003ci\u003eThe Archaeology of American Protests\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how ideals such as equality, prosperity, and self-determination have been challenged and negotiated through protests, connecting today's protest movements to those that came long before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeisaw and Jordan-Talley examine materials excavated from the sites of protests, as well as photographs, graffiti, banners, barriers, and weaponry used to suppress protesters. The book features case studies of movements for Indigenous rights, women's rights, environmental activism, and other causes. The authors trace connections between historical protests such as Bacon's Rebellion of 1676, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and the Boston Tea Party of 1773 to recent protests including Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and the Standing Rock Dakota Access Pipeline resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the perspectives of activist archaeology, community-based archaeology, and social justice, this book shows how protests are integral to the American experience. It demonstrates how communal and public actions aimed at changing the status quo occur in moments of opportunity, while decades later these protests can take on new meanings and be seen in retrospect as moments of pride. Documenting protest sites and material culture can preserve the heritage of social activism, set realistic expectations for social change, and inspire actions for better futures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52651225547025,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52651225612561,"sku":"NIN9781613292167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781613292167.jpg?v=1762134506"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-anita-norich.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
