Antisemitism: A Specific Phenomenon: Holocaust Trivialization - Islamism - Post-colonial and Cosmopolitan anti-Zionism (Studies in Antisemitism) (Volume 3)

This book analyzes the specifics of antisemitism and Jew-hatred in the 21st century. It includes a groundbreaking assessment of the political leanings of many prominent scholars in the field. Today's antisemitism extends far beyond right-wing circles and can be found among liberals, leftists, anti-racist communities, Islamists, and post-colonial scholars in the Western world. Using English and German sources, the author demonstrates the need to oppose Holocaust trivialization as well as other 'modern' forms of antisemitism like anti-Zionism and the defamation of the Jewish state of Israel.
