Kanade, di Goldene Medine? Perspectives on Canadian-Jewish Literature and Culture (Francopolyphonies; Volume 25) by Edited by Krzysztof Majer, Justyna Fruzinska, Jozef Kwaterko, and Norman Ravvin - 2019

BRILL, 2019. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Social scientists and scholars of literature trace and analyze manifestations of Jewishness across Anglophone Canadian literature and culture. They particulary engage with Polish language and culture in Canada. Half of the essays are in French; those in English discuss such topics as preserving Yiddish culture in Canada: the remarkable legacy of Chaim Leib Fuks, the recreation of Jewish Poland in the Canadian novels of Chava Rosenfarb, from painter to schlockmeister: the evolution of the "doubtful artist" in Mordecai Richler's fiction, generational affinities and conflicts in 21st-century North American Jewish literature, and Canada as a place for Jewish-Ukrainian dialogue.
