SUMMARY:Pop Culture in America: A Jewish Invention
DESCRIPTION:Join Paul Buhle\, author\, editor and former Senior Lecturer in History and American Studies at Brown University\, for a presentation on this important but little-understood subject\, drawing upon decades of research and the three-volume set that he edited\,'Jews and American Popular Culture'(2006).\n
 \n
 Jewish immigrants to America played a key role in popular culture\, moving from Greater New York to Hollywood and around the world. Yiddishkeit\, by its adaptive nature\, helped prepare a generation to invent Tin Pan Alley\, formulate early cinema and provide a ready audience. It also shaped the pulp publication world (including comic books)\, and played an often behind-the-scenes role in jazz\, clubs\, sports\, food and organized crime.  To understand why Jews emerged in specifically identified Jewish public roles in the last third of the twentieth century\, recent generations are required to look to the many important lessons of Jewish continuity.  \n
 Free for members\, $5 for non-members.\n
