This book untangles the history of the phenomenon, from ancient religious conflict to 'new' antisemitism in the 21st century. Steven Beller reveals how Antisemitism grew as a political and ideological movement in the 19th century, how it reached its dark apogee in the worst genocide in modern history - the Holocaust - and how Antisemitism still persists around the world today. In the new edition of this thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, Beller brings his examination of this complex and still controversial issue up to date with a discussion of Antisemitism in light of the 2008 financial crash, the Arab Spring, and the on-going crisis between Israel and Palestine. 650 0 $a Antisemitism. 650 0 $a Jews $x History. 830 0 $a Very short introductions ; $v 172. 941 $a 2 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20170620010819.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826041448.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6A146C66B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
