This malicious myth continues to have an explosive afterlife in the public sphere, where Sarah Palin's 2011 gaffe is only the latest reminder of its power to excite controversy. Blood Libel is the first book-length study to analyze the recent historiography of the ritual murder accusation and to consider these debates in the context of intellectual and cultural history as well as methodology. Hannah R. Johnson articulates how ethics shapes methodological decisions in the study of the accusation and how questions about methodology, in turn, pose ethical problems of interpretation and understanding. 606 $aBlood accusation$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aJews$xPersecutions$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aAntisemitism$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aChristianity and antisemitism 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism 608 $aBiographies$2lcgft 615 0$aBlood accusation$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xPersecutions$xHistory. 615 0$aAntisemitism$xHistory. 615 0$aChristianity and antisemitism. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism. 676 $a305.892/4009 700 $aJohnson$b Hannah R.$f1974-$0854862 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910447052103321 996 $aBlood libel$91908989 997 $aUNINA
