In the early decades of the twentieth century, tens of thousands of
Yiddish speaking immigrants actively participated in the American
Socialist and labor movement. They formed the milieu of the hugely
successful daily Forverts (Forward), established in New York in
April 1897. Its editorial columns and bylined articles-many of
whose authors, such as Abraham Cahan and Sholem Asch, were
household names at the time-both reflected and shaped the attitudes
and values of the readership. Most pages of this book are focused
on the newspaper's reaction to the political developments in the
home country. Profound admiration of Russian literature and culture
did not mitigate the writers' criticism of the czarist and Soviet
regimes.
