J. Hoberman's Definitive History of Yiddish Cinema is Back in Print

"Hoberman's research is breathtaking, but it's his persuasive mastery of the political and aesthetic currents shaping the films he discusses, his wit and generosity as a writer, his great passion for Yiddish culture…that makes this book not only the authoritative history of Yiddish cinema, but a deeply moving and intellectually exciting portrait of the hardscrabble, perilous worlds whence those beautiful films emerged. I cherish Bridge of Light.”—Tony Kushner
