Summary:This book illustrates the two clear trends in antisemitism today: "old" antisemitism, based in religious and racist prejudices, which has largely disappeared from public discourse in the West after the defeat of Nazi Germany, but has resurfaced in the last quarter-century in the face of right wing frustration of weakening nation states in a globalized world; and "new" antisemitism, or the antisemitic narrativization of Israel, which is most commonly found on the Left, in the Muslim world, and in the post-colonial discourse.This collection of essays analyzes both old and new antisemitisms, in order to understand their place in the world of today and tomorrow. It is written by experts in the field of antisemitism working for, or connected with, the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University.Contributors: Irena Cantorovich, Lars Dencik, Julia Edthofer, Adrian Gruszniewski, Liora Hendelman-Baavur, Günther Jikeli, Lidia Lerner, Karl Marosi, Michal Navoth, Andre Oboler, Dina Porat, Mathan Ravid, Mikael Shainkman, Natalia Sineaeva-Pankowska, Kristin Wagrell, Michael Whine
