Old antisemitism, based in religious and racist prejudices, has resurfaced in the wake of weakening nation states in a globalized world.

Shainkman's collection, in short, constitutes a valuable addition to the corpus of literature about contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe and elsewhere. Experts on anti-Semitism, as well as laymen interested in this phenomenon, will undoubtedly discover much of interest amongst its contributions." --David Rodman, <i>Israel Affairs</i>, Vol. 25</p>--David Rodman "Israel Affairs"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mikael Shainkman (PhD) is a research fellow at the Moshe Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University, and Editor of the Center's series of Position Papers.
