Reviews
Many on the left won't like this book, but everyone should read it if we are to do better in future. Mike Phipps, LabourHub. The definitive work for me on this most vexatious of subjects by the longstanding leftwing writer on fascism and antifascism, David Renton. Definitive in scope, politics and writing style this is a hugely impressive piece of writing and puts the Keir Starmer era Labour Party's own pitiful efforts at antisemitism training to shame. - Mark Perryman, Philosophy Football. Renton's book has a kind of elegiac quality...As Renton shows, what Labour under both Corbyn and Starmer shared is an obsession with disciplinary processes and an absence of a more thoroughgoing educational effort....I hope that David Renton's book encourages open self-criticism on the Labour left regarding antisemitism. - Keith Kahn Harris, author of Strange Hate: Antisemitism, Racism and the Limits of Diversity.

Definitive in scope, politics and writing style this is a hugely impressive piece of writing and puts the Keir Starmer era Labour Party's own pitiful efforts at antisemitism training to shame. - Mark Perryman, Philosophy Football. It was fair to expect the party under Corbyn to have acknowledged the challenge and taken its share of responsibility. David Renton's call to do just that makes his book a valuable contribution to the debate on left-wing antisemitism. - Keith Kahn Harris, Times Literary Supplement. David Renton's excellent new book...demonstrates [that] acknowledging real antisemitism on our own side was absolutely necessary if we were to show that we were principled anti-racists. And, more importantly, if we were to be principled anti-racists. - Ian Saville, LabourHub.
