 eader? The State of Yiddish Literary Translation</p><p><strong>Abstract: "<
 /strong>In this presentation\, I examine recent developments in the transla
 tion of Yiddish literature into English in the United States and Canada. Pr
 oviding an overview of the field\, I show how translation from Yiddish has 
 shifted from a practice largely rooted in nostalgia\, Holocaust memory\, an
 d Cold War politics\, to a broader phenomenon aimed at both a linguisticall
 y assimilated in-group of readers as well as a more global audience. Paying
  special attention to fundamental translation studies issues regarding audi
 ence and readership in the specific context of contemporary Yiddish culture
 \, the talk will also include reading from select texts in both languages."
