Based on research literature, the article reviews the history of Hebrew non-canonized literature since the 1930s, its contacts with Yiddish shund literature and its effects on the development of Modern Hebrew literature and Israeli identity, especially in light of the New Hebrew ethos. The article features the research collection of Hebrew pulps at Arizona State University, demonstrates the significance of collecting popular materials in research libraries, and suggests possible new directions for research. An appendix lists some of the materials available at the IsraPulp Collection.
