JS 320 History of Antisemitism
Antisemitism is a term fraught with paradoxes: although it describes the "oldest hatred," it was coined by a Jew-hater; although used to measure Jewish safety, some argue it "weaponizes" criticism of Israel; although identified with unique ethno-religious discrimination, it is also perceived as a specific name for the universal phenomenon of intergroup prejudice. This course examines the ambiguities of the concepts of antisemitism and the history of its manifestations, from antiquity to its contemporary incarnations.
