Antisemitism: A Reference Handbook, 2nd Edition: Contemporary World Issues (Hardcover)
Autor Jerome A. Chanesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 oct 2016
Antisemitism has evolved significantly in response to developments in recent years, such as changes in the international geo-political landscape, which have implications for antisemitism; new international protocols on human rights and civil liberties, which implicate antisemitism; and numerous academic studies of antisemitism. Ongoing questions related to the state of Israel and the Middle East are influential as well.
This revised version of "Antisemitism: A Reference Handbook" has been thoroughly updated to serve readers seeking to better understand the incidence of antisemitism in the modern world or students needing detailed, authoritative information for research papers, debates, or general knowledge. The book provides a preface and introduction that presents important background and history on antisemitism before delving into examinations of specific problems, controversies, and potential solutions to the issue. Profiles of key individuals, a data and documents section, a list of resources for further reading, a chronology, and a glossary of key terms are included.

Descriere
A survey of the historical, political, and sociological contexts of antisemitism in more than 50 countries.
Antisemitism: A Reference Handbook is the first reference work to present a global survey of antisemitism that goes beyond its history to reveal the roots and nature of antisemitism. Exploring how antisemitism has manifested itself in various countries from pre-Christian times to today's ongoing Palestinian Intifada, which has caused severe reactions in Arab and Muslim communities all over the world, this unique work traces the history of the hatred of Jews worldwide.
Approximately 20 biographical sketches profile advocates of antisemitism such as William Marr, who coined the term "antisemitism," and opponents of antisemitism such as St. Anselm and Martin Luther King. In this serious yet accessible volume, students, scholars, government officials, and diplomats will discover the answers to such puzzling questions as "What is antisemitism?" and "How does antisemitism relate to racism and to group prejudice in general?"
