Recent decades have been more sobering. Instability and extremism have returned in force. As Shalom Lappin explains in this worrying book, an upsurge of antisemitism across the political spectrum has accompanied them. Recent events in the Middle East have transformed it into a tidal wave.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLappin explores in particular the disturbing correlation between the expansion of economic globalization and the return of the anti-Jewish ideas that we thought had been consigned to the past. He examines this relationship within the context of the assault on democracy and social cohesion that anti-globalist reactions have launched in different parts of the world. To understand contemporary antisemitism, Lappin argues, it is essential to recognize the way in which its antecedents have become deeply embedded in Western and Middle Eastern cultures over millennia. This allows hostility to Jews to cross political boundaries easily, left and right, in a way that other forms of racism do not. Combatting antisemitism effectively requires a new progressive politics that addresses its root causes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Antisemitism\u003c\/i\u003e is crucial reading for anyone concerned with the social pathologies unleashed by our current economic and political discontents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Introduction: Democracy in Crisis\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Roots of Antisemitism in Western Culture\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: The View from the Right \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: The View from the Left\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: The View from Radical Political Islamism\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Re-Naturalised\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: The Jewish Response to the Crisis\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Notes for a New Progressive Politics\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eReferences\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453473747224,"sku":"9781509558568","price":19.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509558568.jpg?v=1785284892","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-new-antisemitism-the-resurgence-of-an-ancient-hatred-in-the-modern-world-hardback-9781509558568","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
