How did Jews who were genuinely struggling with their Jewish identity find ways to express it through punk rock? \u003ci\u003eOy Oy Oy Gevalt! Jews and Punk\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Croland\u003c\/b\u003e has written about Jews and punk for the \u003ci\u003eForward\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew Voices\u003c\/i\u003e, and his former blog, \u003ci\u003eheebnvegan\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52624287957299,"sku":"9781440832192","price":111.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ODN5Vkh0ZjZSOHpQS2Q3L1UyWDNLUT09.webp?v=1762001828","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/oy-oy-oy-gevalt-jews-and-punk-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
