Summary:
"The
language
of a thousand years of European Jewish civilization that was decimated in the Nazi Holocaust,
Yiddish
has emerged as a vehicle for young people to engage with their heritage and identity. Although widely considered an endangered
language
,
Yiddish
has evolved as a site for creative renewal in the Jewish world and beyond in addition to being used daily within Hasidic communities. '
Yiddish
Lives On' explores the continuity of the
language
in the hands of a diverse group of native, heritage, and new speakers. The book tells stories of communities in Canada and abroad that have resisted the decline of
Yiddish
over a period of seventy years, spotlighting strategies that facilitate continuity through family transmission, theatre, activism, publishing, song, cinema, and other new media. Rebecca Margolis uses a multidisciplinary approach that draws on methodologies from history, sociolinguistics, ethnography, digital humanities, and screen studies to examine the ways in which engagement with
Yiddish
has evolved across multiple planes. Investigating the products of an abiding dedication to cultural continuity among successive generations, the book offers innovative approaches to the preservation, promotion, and revitalization of minority, heritage, and lesser-taught languages."
