{"product_id":"medieval-antisemitism-franois-soyer-9781641890076","title":"Medieval Antisemitism?","description":"Is it possible to talk about antisemitism in the Middle Ages before the appearance of scientific concepts of \"race\"? In this work, Fran輟is Soyer examines the nature of medieval anti-Jewish sentiment and violence. Analysing developments in Europe between 1100 and 1500, he points to the tensions in medieval anti-Jewish thought amongst thinkers who hoped to convert Jews and blamed Talmudic scholarship for their obduracy and yet who also, conversely, often essentialized Judaism to the point that it transformed into the functional equivalent of the modern concept of race. In a nuanced manner, he argues that, just as many historians now refer to \"racisms\" in the plural, we should not consider antisemitism as a monolithic concept but accept the existence of independent historical meanings and thus of antisemitisms (plural), including \"medieval antisemitism\" as distinct from anti-Judaism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fran輟is Soyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164189007X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641890076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Fran輟is Soyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043127357695,"sku":"9781641890076","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fed95c41-76a2-4789-8232-0b9926a3fd55.jpg?v=1684965407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-antisemitism-franois-soyer-9781641890076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
