<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A powerful history that shows anti-Judaism to be a central way of thinking inthe Western tradition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This incisive history upends the complacency that confines anti-Judaism to the ideological extremes in the Western tradition. With deep learning and elegance, David Nirenberg shows how foundational anti-Judaism is to the history of the West.<br /><br /> Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world. The thrust of this tradition construes Judaism as an opposition, a danger often from within, to be criticized, attacked, and eliminated. The intersections of these ideas with the world of power--the Roman destruction of the Second Temple, the Spanish Inquisition, the German Holocaust--are well known. The ways of thought underlying these tragedies can be found at the very foundation of Western history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] magisterial work of intellectual history.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>Brilliant, fascinating.--Michael Walzer "New York Review of Books"<br><br>Chilling. . . . Nirenberg offers his painful and important history so that we might recognize these patterns [of intolerance and violence] in hopes of not falling into them yet again.--Michael S. Roth "Washington Post"<br><br>Learned and disquieting. . . . <em>Anti-Judaism</em> identifies a persistent and pervasive thread in the fabric of Western thought that no future commentary . . . will be entitled to ignore.--R.
