In this brilliant study, Rebecca Margolis simultaneously introduces the contemporary genre of Yiddish Supernatural film and sheds new light on the continued relevance of a language caught between past and present. Yiddish speaking characters are haunted by treacherous pasts and in turn haunt the contemporary world. By turning our attention to a recent genre in Yiddish art, one that includes remakes, new cinema, and cameo preludes, Margolis offers a fresh take on the meaning of Yiddish eighty years after the Holocaust. --Amelia M. Glaser, UC San Diego A welcome addition to the scholarship on Jewish cinema and television and the representation of Jews, Jewishness and Judaism on screen, The Yiddish Supernatural on Screen: Dybbuks, Demons and Haunted Jewish Pasts by Rebecca Margolis takes a particularly timely topic as its subject: how screen production in Yiddish reconstructs magical pasts and haunted presents within global film and television. Very much recommended. --Nathan Abrams, Professor of Film Studies, Bangor University, Wales and author of The New Jew in Film: Exploring Jewishness and Judaism in Contemporary Cinema A welcome addition to the scholarship on Jewish cinema and television and the representation of Jews, Jewishness and Judaism on screen, The Yiddish Supernatural on Screen: Dybbuks, Demons and Haunted Jewish Pasts by Rebecca Margolis takes a particularly timely topic as its subject: how screen production in Yiddish reconstructs magical pasts and haunted presents within global film and television.
