Introspectivism: Yiddish poetry and Jewish identity in 1930s America

"This book explores the search for a Yiddish-language Jewish American identity in the work of Inzikh, one of the most influential groups of modernist Yiddish poets in America. Founded in 1920 and led by A. Leyeles, Jacob Glatstein, and Nahum Baruch Minkoff, Inzikh introduced a hybrid form of Americanized Yiddish modernism that encapsulated the unique condition of Jews in the modern world"-- Provided by publisher.
