Böcker i Antisemitism Studies-serien

Illustrates the two clear trends in antisemitism today: ""old"" antisemitism, based in religious and racist prejudices; 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.

One distinct feature of antisemitism today is its demonization of the State of Israel. Older ideas also feature Jews being blamed for all the world''s ills, thought to possess almost supernatural levels of power and wealth, and conspiring to harm the non-Jewish other. These and other ideas forming the background to antisemitism in Europe and North America are unpacked in this book with a view to understanding-and thereby combatting- contemporary antisemitism.
