  • Author : Michael Croland
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2016-04-18
  • ISBN : 144083220X
  • Pages : 212 pages

Download or read book Oy Oy Oy Gevalt written by Michael Croland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step inside a fascinating world of Jews who relate to their Jewishness through the vehicle of punk—from prominent figures in the history of punk to musicians who proudly put their Jewish identity front and center. Why did punk—a subculture and music style characterized by a rejection of established norms—appeal to Jews? How did Jews who were genuinely struggling with their Jewish identity find ways to express it through punk rock? Oy Oy Oy Gevalt! Jews and Punk explores the cultural connections between Jews and punk in music and beyond, documenting how Jews were involved in the punk movement in its origins in the 1970s through the present day. Author Michael Croland begins by broadly defining what the terms "Jewish" and "punk" mean. This introduction is followed by an exploration of the various ways these ostensibly incompatible identities can gel together, addressing topics such as Jewish humor, New York City, the Holocaust, individualism, "tough Jews," outsider identity, tikkun olam ("healing the world"), and radicalism. The following chapters discuss prominent Jews in punk, punk rock bands that overtly put their Jewishness on display, and punk influences on other types of Jewish music—for example, klezmer and Hasidic simcha (celebration) music. The book also explores ways that Jewish and punk culture intersect beyond music, including documentaries, young adult novels, zines, cooking, and rabbis.

Book Oy  Oy  Oy  The Teacher Is a Goy

Download or read book Oy Oy Oy The Teacher Is a Goy written by Henry Saltzman and published by Wicked Son. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1953 and Henry Saltzman, an Americanized Jew looking for his first job as a high school English teacher, unexpectedly finds himself confronting a roomful of intense, hyperactive ten-year-old boys in a Hasidic Brooklyn yeshiva. The assimilated Saltzman is profoundly challenged by their prejudices and fears about the world outside their close-knit religious community and vows to help them become not just good Jews, but good Americans. In the process, like any good teacher, he learns from them as well. Based on the author’s own experience, this charming novel takes us inside the alien world of Hasidic Judaism with humor, warmth, and deep affection.

Book Oy Pioneer

    Book Details:
  • Author : Marleen S. Barr
  • Publisher : Terrace Books
  • Release : 2003-11-15
  • ISBN : 0299189139
  • Pages : 276 pages

Download or read book Oy Pioneer written by Marleen S. Barr and published by Terrace Books. This book was released on 2003-11-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would happen if a feminist Jewish wit and scholar invaded David Lodge’s territory? Marleen S. Barr, herself a pioneer in the feminist criticism of science fiction, provides a giddily entertaining answer in this feisty novel. Oy Pioneer! follows professor Sondra Lear as she makes her inimitable way through a world of learning—at times fantastic, at times all too familiar, often hilarious, and always compulsively interesting. As if Mel Brooks and Erica Jong had joined forces to recreate Sex and the City for the intellectual set, the story is a heady mix of Jewish humor, feminist insight, and academic satire. Lear is a tenured radical and a wildly ambitious intellectual, but is subject nonetheless to the husband-hunting imperatives of her Jewish mother. Her adventures expand narrative parameters according to Barr’s term "genre fission." Mixing elements of science fiction, fantasy, ethnic comedy, satire, and authentic experience of academic life, Oy Pioneer! is uncommonly fun—a Jewish feminist scholar’s imaginative text boldly going where no academic satire has gone before—and bringing readers along for an exhilarating ride.

  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2010-01-01
  • ISBN : 1725245280
  • Pages : 160 pages

Download or read book Latina o y Musulm n written by Hjamil A. Martínez-Vázquez and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinas/os are the fastest growing "minoritized" ethnic group in the United States and Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States. It is therefore no surprise that the Latina/o Muslim population is one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. As a minority within a minority, the ways in which U.S. Latina/o Muslims construct their identity is not only interesting in itself but also of interest for how they challenge traditional understandings of U.S. Latina/o identities. This book explores the process of conversion of U.S. Latina/o Muslims and how it becomes the foundation for the re-construction of their U.S. Latina/o identities. Furthermore, since Latina/o religious experience in the United States up until now has largely assumed Christianity as the de facto religion, Latina/o y Musulman brings a whole new angle to studies in this area. Martinez-Vazquez lays the broader analytical foundation for how the religious experiences of non-Christian U.S. Latinas/os shape the process of identity construction.

Book Oy Vey  Sudoku

  • Author : Frank Longo
  • Publisher : Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.
  • Release : 2006
  • ISBN : 9781402740107
  • Pages : 102 pages

Download or read book Oy Vey Sudoku written by Frank Longo and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is this puzzle book different from all other puzzle books? It’s a uniquely fun mix of Japan meets Judaism! While the process of working out these word sudokus (wordokus) is the same as usual--fill in the boxes with the correct letters so they don’t repeat--the solutions are extraordinary, because each one results in a word associated with Yiddish or Jewish life. For example, there’s Bar Mitzvah, Chutzpah, Dreidels, and Matzo Balls. Start by using the letters underneath the wordoku: they’re arranged into an easy-to-remember phrase. When the puzzle is done, the correct word will be spelled in a straight line somewhere. (There are a few extra Jewish words thrown in for good measure.) The puzzles come in three sizes: 8 x 8, the traditional 9 x 9, and 10 x 10.
