more just world, we would not need a book like this one. But in the
broken, flawed, real world that we inhabit, the Routledge History
of Antisemitism is both morally necessary and intellectually
essential. With an impressive range of topics and contributors,
this volume provides a sweeping survey of antisemitism over the
millenia and around the globe, and it does so in a lucid and
accessible way."Prof. Samuel G. Freedman, Columbia Journalism
School"A book published in the right time, relevant to a current
troubling issue is always a welcome surprise. So is the
Routledge History of Antisemitism, off the print in 2023, when
antisemitism is on the rise worldwide and the depiction of a
reliable picture is sorely needed. Holding 40 well-edited essays
along 400 pages, this volume offers concise, up to date eye opening
information, accompanied by analysis and insight, on a wide variety
of topics, written by first rate experts, each representing his or
her field of expertise. Needless to say, such a collection is
indeed a most relevant contribution to any discussion of
antisemitism nowadays."Prof. Emerita Dina Porat, Chief
historian of Yad Vashem, 2010-2021, The Alfred P. Slaner Chair in
Antisemitism and Racism in Tel Aviv University"A crucial
contribution to the field spanning the full spectrum of time and
geography of the world's most enduring hatred. From antiquity to
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party; from the Holocaust to Soviet
antizionism; from the Middle East to the Baltic states; from the
BDS to online hate: the tightly written essays in this volume are
certain to prove an essential resource for educators, students and
general public alike."Izabella Tabarovsky, Senior Advisor,

Marketing:Antisemitism is a topic on which there is a wide gap
between scholarly and popular understanding, and as concern over
antisemitism has grown, so too have the debates over how to
understand and combat it. This handbook explores its history and
manifestations, ranging from its origins to the internet.Since the
Holocaust, many in North America and Europe have viewed
antisemitism as a historical issue with little current importance.
However, recent events show that antisemitism is not just a matter
of historical interest or of concern only to Jews. Antisemitism has
become a major issue confronting and challenging our world. This
volume starts with explorations of antisemitism in its many
different shapes across time and then proceeds to a geographical
perspective, covering a broad scope of experiences across different
countries and regions. The final section discusses the
manifestations of antisemitism in its varied cultural and social
forms.With an international range of contributions across 40
chapters, this is an essential volume for all readers of Jewish and
non-Jewish history alike.
