Description
This book is at once a philosophical reflection on key problems in the analysis of anti-Semitism and a history of its leading theories and theorists.
No one has told the story of the explosion of theorizing of anti-Semitism since the middle of the twentieth century in as sophisticated and up-to-date manner as Judaken does in this book. Most important, perhaps, Judaken’s take is not an exceptionalist one of “the longest hatred” but, appropriately for our age and moment, integrates theories of Judeophobia for an era of debates about the ongoing and profound legacy of racialization locally and globally.
Jonathan Judaken is the Gloria M. Goldstein Professor of Jewish History and Thought at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author of Jean-Paul Sartre and the Jewish Question: Anti-antisemitism and the Politics of the French Intellectual (2006) and a coeditor of Situating Existentialism: Key Texts in Context (2012) and The Albert Memmi Reader (2020), among other books.
