Join us on Zoom for an engaging talk with Michael Kimmel, author of “Playmakers: The Jewish Entrepreneurs Who Created the Toy Industry in America.” Learn how poor, often Yiddish-speaking, tenement-dwelling children of immigrants created the idealized American childhood through the world of play.
The great-grandnephew of the founder of the Ideal Toy Corporation, Michael Kimmel is a SUNY distinguished professor emeritus of sociology and gender studies and founder of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities at Stony Brook University. The author of “Guyland,” he lives in Brooklyn, New York.
