OverviewThis book illustrates the two clear trends in antisemitism today: ""old"" antisemitism, based in religious and racist prejudices, which has largely disappeared from public discourse in the West after the defeat of Nazi Germany, but has resurfaced in the last quarter-century in the face of right wing frustration of weakening nation states in a globalized world; and ""new"" antisemitism, or the antisemitic narrativization of Israel, which is most commonly found on the Left, in the Muslim world, and in the post-colonial discourse. This collection of essays analyzes both old and new antisemitisms, in order to understand their place in the world of today and tomorrow. It is written by experts in the field of antisemitism working for, or connected with, the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University.

Table of ContentsReviewsCompiled by Mikael Shainkman, a researcher at Tel Aviv University, this informative collection of papers focusses largely - but not exclusively - on contemporary European anti-Semitism. ... Shainkman's collection, in short, constitutes a valuable addition to the corpus of literature about contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe and elsewhere. Experts on anti-Semitism, as well as laymen interested in this phenomenon, will undoubtedly discover much of interest amongst its contributions. --David Rodman, Israel Affairs, Vol. 25 --David Rodman Israel Affairs Author InformationMikael Shainkman (PhD) is a research fellow at the Moshe Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University, and Editor of the Center's series of Position Papers.
