Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America

Jewish American literature has long been, and continues to be, a multilingual
enterprise, with significant work published in at least six languages
(English, Spanish, Ladino, German, Yiddish, and Hebrew). The literary study of
Jewish American writing, however, has been overwhelmingly defined by an
English-only approach unable to encompass its diversity, or to locate that diversity in
the multilingual and multicultural landscape of American literature as a whole.
The conference, “Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America,”
will survey the field of multilingual Jewish American literature and the new
methodological approaches that are needed, we believe, to sustain and
reinvigorate the academic study of this literature.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Werner Sollors, Harvard University
"A New Literary History of America"
