Research project: From a Major to a Minor Cultural Revolution: Yiddish Literature during the Ceaușescu Era (1965‒1989)

My research project proposes a close reading of literary works by Yiddish authors active during the “minor cultural revolution” of the Ceaușescu era in Romania (1965–1989). It will follow the Rezeptionsgeschichte of their works and analyze the transnational dynamics of Yiddish literature in the Socialist Bloc.
