About this book
The volume brings together leading scholars in the emerging field of antisemitism-Islamophobia studies who work in a diverse range of disciplines: anthropology, history, sociology, critical theory, and literature. Together, they help us to understand a Europe in which Jews and Arabs were once called Semites, and today are widely thought to be on two different sides of the War on Terror.
Reviews
“The contributors to this volume seek to make connections between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia from the Crusades to modern times. Drawing on various case studies from across Europe, they describe the evolution of ideas about Judaism and Islam, noting how these have both combined and diverged, and how the adherents of these religions have responded.” (Survival, Issue 2, April, 2019 – May, 2019)
