Reviews
“Katz’s book invites scholars of Yiddish and of vernacular languages generally, especially those spoken by minority peoples living in a diaspora, to think expansively about a language’s potential to empower its speakers. In the case of Yiddish, this approach is key to considering the state of the language today and tracking its future.” (Jeffrey Shandler, Journal of Jewish Languages, Vol. 4, 2016)
