Chapter: What is antisemitism?

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.46874

Blurb:

Antisemitism is a term used to identify hostility toward Jews, Judaism, or Jewishness, or their subordination. This chapter examines the origin of the term, from the context of late-nineteenth-century European philological and racial theories and their Nazi legacy to its current uses and intellectual provocations.
