This 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.
Mikael 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. His research focuses mainly on antisemitism and historical culture: his doctoral thesis, "Heroes and Victims: The Holocaust in Israeli Historical Culture", dealt with how the Holocaust has been remembered, understood and used in Israeli society.
