Not Your Father's Antisemitism: Hatred of the Jews in the 21st Century
Not Your Father's Antisemitismargues that contemporary hatred of the Jews is not a throwback to the 1930s but a unique manifestation of 21st century humanity and the post-modernist crisis. Seventeen crisp essays written by distinguished scholars from diverse disciplines, backgrounds, and countries examine various aspects of antisemitism."Like viruses that morph into more resistant strains, twenty-first century antisemitism is related to and yet significantly different from that used by and inflicted upon previous generations....lucid, insightful, penetrating, and urgent."--John K. Roth, Professor Emeritus, Claremont McKenna College"The anti-semitism we are witnessing today is not the same as what we have seen in the past. One clear lesson of this book is that the responses of the past will not necessarily work today."--Peter J. Haas, The Samuel Rosenthal Center for Judaic Studies, Case Western Reserve University"These important essays need to be read, digested, and placed in the hands of everyone who remains concerned that hatred against Jews continues to rear its ugly head and the solution is not beyond our willingness to confront it boldly and with knowledge."--Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs, Aaron Aronov Endowed Chair of Judaic Studies, The University of Alabama
