But within the borders of Israel, a fascinating culture was (and continues to be) created in many languages other than Hebrew, reflecting its reality from angles that the makers of Hebrew-Israeli culture did not know and all too often lacked the tools to express. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Am Your Dust: Representations of the Israeli Experience in Yiddish Prose, 1948–1967\u003c\/i\u003e expands the boundaries of current studies of Israel's cultural history by presenting and analyzing Yiddish-Israeli prose written during the country's first two decades as an independent state. It offers a comprehensive study of that unique, and hitherto little understood, literature, a detailed historical documentation of the contexts of its production, and an eye-opening comparison of its themes to the more familiar outputs of Hebrew-Israeli prose. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Am Your Dust\u003c\/i\u003e is the first socioliterary investigation of Yiddish-Israeli culture, and it explores how Yiddish-Israeli writers played a vital role in shaping the country's cultural identity in its early years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Gali Drucker Bar-Am.
