Introspectivism: Yiddish Poetry and Jewish Identity in 1930s America is the first comprehensive and comparative study of the modernist group of Yiddish poets and poetry written in New York by the In Zikh, also known as the "Introspectivists" or Inzikhistn Introspectivism forced social and political topics into the margins in order to create space for imagination and fantasy distant from the lived experience of the poets. As such, the worsening conditions of European Jews and the rise of totalitarianism in the early 1930s pushed the poets to address the theme of cultural heritage and reconnect with their Jewish roots. Although the Inzikhistn have been acknowledged as one of the most important groups of Yiddish writers, only certain aspects of their poetry and poetics have been explored. Itay Zutra focuses primarily on In Zikh's poetry to show how it determined the course of the group's development and the development of Introspectivism as a movement.

Introspectivism is a modernist take on the poets' search for Jewish self-consciousness that weaves together Yiddish, Jewish, and American poetry, history, and culture. Zutra offers close readings of modern Yiddish poetry's journey from the generalized folklike persona to an individualized poetic "I." By developing a methodology that explores Yiddish poetry as context for the expansion of individualism in Jewish culture, Zutra affirms how the overall movement carved out room for Yiddish-speaking American Jewish identity.
