Sommario/riassunto

This anthology translates little-known Yiddish poetry by American Yiddish proletarian writers who identified with the American Left from the 1920s to the early 1950s. Dovid Katz explains how a McCarthy-era ""American Yiddish Political Correctness"" wrote these leftist poets out of the canon. Amelia Glaser and David Weintraub correct this erasure.
