This book takes a different approach, surveying the phenomenon from antiquity to the present day, and highlighting its rich complexity and broad impact on Western culture. Philosemitism in History includes fourteen essays by specialist historians, anthropologists, literary scholars and scholars of religion, ranging from medieval philosemitism, to such modern and contemporary topics as the African American depiction of Jews as ethnic role models, the Zionism of Christian evangelicals, pro-Jewish educational television in West Germany, and the current fashion for Jewish kitsch memorabilia in contemporary East-Central Europe. An extensive introductory chapter offers a thorough and original overview of the topic. The book underscores both the endurance and the malleability of philosemitism, drawing attention to this important, yet widely neglected, facet of Jewish - non-Jewish relations. 606 $aPhilosemitism$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosemitism$xHistory. 676 $a305.892/4 702 $aKarp$b Jonathan$f1960- 702 $aSutcliffe$b Adam 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822822003321 996 $aPhilosemitism in history$9259362 997 $aUNINA
