So many things that are iconically American have Yiddish roots. Think of bagels! Or Star Trek's Mr. Spock. But Yiddish, a language without a country, influenced America and Hollywood while being changed itself. How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish is an anthology that explores that interplay, just like a bagelsnake eating its own tail.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
