Description



Book Synopsis



Nach dem vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschland, seinen Alliierten und Kollaborateuren verübten khurbn (Zerstörung) waren die jiddischen Gemeinschaften in Osteuropa erschüttert und weitgehend dezimiert. Für die meisten Überlebenden war die alte Heimat im Osten ein untergegangener Sehnsuchtsort und nurmehr Ort des Transits in die Zentren im sich neuformierenden 'Westen' nach Nordamerika, in den globalen Süden, in den jungen Staat Israel. In der Forschung ausgeblendet wurden bisher das kulturelle Handeln, das politische Engagement und die vielfältigen Visionen jener Kulturschaffenden, die zu Tausenden in Osteuropa blieben. Der Band untersucht deren Aktivitäten sowie Rolle und Sprachpolitik des Jiddischen in verschiedenen sozialistischen Staaten sowie transsozialistische und blockübergreifende Dialoge während des "jiddischen Kalten Krieges". Wie positionierte man sich innerhalb sozialistischer Narrative von Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft und gegenüber der jüdischen Diaspora? Was waren die Visionen für ein Jiddischland in der neuen Welt des real-existierenden Sozialismus und wie versuchte man, sie umzusetzen? Fallstudien zu Polen, der Sowjetunion, der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik und Rumänien erörtern vielfältige lokale Aufbauinitiativen und blockübergreifende Verflechtungen mit 'westlichen' Ländern, wie z. B. Großbritannien, den Vereinigten Staaten, Argentinien und Israel.



Review Quotes




By challenging Cold War stereotypes, Socialist Yiddishlands charts the complex landscape of the archipelago of Yiddish culture as it reemerged beyond the "Iron Curtain" after the devastations of the Holocaust. Rather than portraying the interaction between Yiddish culture and communist regimes as a zero-sum game, the contributors explore how Yiddish activists attempted to integrate their visions of diasporic Jewish modernity into realities shaped by those political systems. - Mikhail Krutikov, Professor of Slavic and Judaic Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

***

Socialist Yiddishlands utilizes cutting-edge theories and methods to offer a post-Cold War reexamination of Yiddish cultural production in Eastern bloc countries that moves beyond binaries and ideological interpretations to engage seriously with what was created, the circumstances of its creation, and the ongoing transnational ties amongst Yiddishists throughout the period. This innovative collection of essays will cause many scholars to rethink their assumptions and return to an overlooked oeuvre. - Eliyana Adler, Binghamton University
