I've been researching old Bundist songs for a workshop for a few weeks now and I can't believe I didn't know about this book till now. Arbeyt un Frayhayt, a collection of #Yiddish revolutionary, workers and folk songs mostly dating to 1903-05, published by Schmul Lehman in Warsaw in 1921.

I notice that Walter Zev Feldman's new book is out, "From the Bronx to the Bosphorus: Klezmer and Other Displaced Musics of New York." Feldman, a musicologist, is one of the key figures in the #klezmer revival & recorded with Andy Statman in the 70s. His 2016 book Klezmer: Music, History and Memory, for whatever minor parts I may disagree with, is one of the only reliable academic works in English on the genre.
