In recent years, definitions of antisemitism and Islamophobia have become central to the struggle to combat the hostility, harassment and discrimination experienced by Jews and Muslims. Yet these definitions have also provoked fierce controversy: critics have questioned whether they are fit for purpose, or have criticised them as unwelcome attempts to restrict freedom of expression. In this edited collection, historians, social scientists and philosophers reflect on definitions of antisemitism and Islamophobia in both the past and the present. Its contributors investigate the different historical contexts which have shaped definitions and examine their different political purposes and meanings, as well as addressing contemporary debates, and identifying ways forus to move beyond our current impasse. This book therefore provides a broad and new perspective from which to comprehend present day minority politics. David Feldman is Professor of History at Birkbeck, University of London, UK and Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism. Marc Volovici is Alfred Landecker Lecturer in the Department of Jewish History at the University of Haifa, Israel. 410 0$aPalgrave Critical Studies of Antisemitism and Racism,$x2946-4641 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aJudaism$xHistory 606 $aIslam$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aJewish History 606 $aIslamic History 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aJewish History. 615 24$aIslamic History. 676 $a305.8924 676 $a305.8924 702 $aVolovici$b Marc 702 $aFeldman$b Dav?id 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOLK 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910728946303321 996 $aAntisemitism, Islamophobia and the Politics of Definition$93883287 997 $aUNINA
