For over a century Yiddish served as a major vehicle for expressing
left-wing ideas and sensitivities. A language without country, an
'ugly jargon' despised by assimilationist Jewish bourgeoisie and
nationalist Zionists alike, it was embraced as genuine folk idiom
by Jewish adherents of socialism and communism worldwide. Following
the Holocaust, Yiddish was the primary language of education,
culture and propaganda for millions of people on five continents.
The present volume examines the rich diversity of relationships
between Yiddish and the Left, from the attitude of Yiddish writers
to apartheid in South Africa to the vicissitudes of the Yiddish
communist press in the Soviet Union and the USA. (Legenda 2001)
