Media and Culture in the U.S. Jewish Labor Movement

More about the book

Innovative strategies employed by the Jewish Left are examined, highlighting their efforts to sustain media and educational initiatives during a crisis in global democracy. In the aftermath of World War I, Jewish unions and political groups adapted to a changing media landscape, transforming Yiddish socialism into a political identity aligned with American liberalism and consumerism. Brian Dolber utilizes archival sources to illustrate the role of cultural activities in political movements and the significance of alternative media in times of upheaval.
