{"product_id":"antisemitism-racism-and-islamophobia-christine-achinger-9781138061538","title":"Antisemitism, Racism and Islamophobia: Distorted Faces of Modernity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe growing threat of antisemitism, racism and Islamophobia within the European political landscape poses urgent and difficult questions. These questions concern both commonalities and connections between these forms of prejudice and persecution, and differences regarding their discursive functions and the image of the 'other' they project. In this volume we interrogate the specific forms which antiracism and anti-antisemitism take in the public sphere, their representation in scholarly discourses, and the fact that they increasingly seem to be at home in separate, and sometimes antagonistic, political and academic camps. We also address the conceptual resources and research tools required to study the unity that lies behind these varied phenomena. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection has a new introduction and brings together papers that arose out of discussions in the European Sociological Association Network on Racism and Antisemitism, published in \u003ci\u003eEuropean Societies\u003c\/i\u003e. The chapters relate to current issues in the area of racism and anti-Semitism such as the notable impact of the Israel-Palestine conflict on antisemitism in Europe, the contested 'antizionist' humour of Dieudonn? in France, relations between antisemitic and Islamophobic attitudes in Italy and Spain, the problem of antisemitic reactions to Islamophobia in Arab media, the historical relation of antisemitism to other kinds of racism in German literary discourse and how their study can be instructive for the investigation of antisemitism and Islamophobia today, the difficulties Marxists internationally have faced in addressing concerns about antisemitism, and current disconnections between racism and antisemitism in the human sciences. These papers raise fundamental issues of understanding the modern world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eEuropean Studies.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Achinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138061530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138061538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.35d","brand":"Christine Achinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670405730559,"sku":"9781138061538","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antisemitism-racism-and-islamophobia-christine-achinger-9781138061538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
