Sommario/riassunto

"The essays in this volume bring together the views of distinguished scholars from Canada and the United States to discuss the contemporary meaning of antisemitism - a pressing problem not only in the Middle East and Europe, but in North America as well. The essays



map the terrain of antisemitic thought and practice, make important distinctions between expressions of antisemitism across time and space, and put various strategies of response into critical perspective."--Jacket
