Reviews

No one has told the story of the explosion of theorizing of anti-Semitism since the middle of the twentieth century in as sophisticated and up-to-date manner as Judaken does in this book. Most important, perhaps, Judaken’s take is not an exceptionalist one of “the longest hatred” but, appropriately for our age and moment, integrates theories of Judeophobia for an era of debates about the ongoing and profound legacy of racialization locally and globally. -- Samuel Moyn, author of <i>Liberalism Against Itself: Cold War Intellectuals and the Making of Our Times</i>
