Antisemitism Today and Tomorrow

This book analyzes the two major trends in antisemitism today. Old antisemitism, based in religious and racist prejudices, has resurfaced in the wake of weakening nation states in a globalized world. 'New' antisemitism, or the antisemitic narrativization of Israel, has grown in the shadow of the protracted conflict in the Middle East.
