Yiddish: A Global Culture at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA is the first ever museum to showcase the extraordinary vibrancy and breadth of modern Yiddish culture—its literature, theater, art, music, journalism, politics—from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. This landmark exhibition catalog offers a panoramic view of Yiddish: A Global Culture to the general reader, placing the transnational story of Yiddish within broader world history. The 344 full-color pages include an eight-page gatefold of “Yiddishland,” the exhibition’s 60-foot mural, along with hundreds of stunning reproductions of artworks, rare artifacts, and other key exhibits. With illuminating introductory essays and a timeline highlighting the iconic figures, breakout creative masterpieces, and controversies of the Yiddish world, this volume brings to dramatic life the significance of one remarkable civilization and its ongoing legacy.
