Looking For An Enemy: 8 Essays On Antisemitism

From medieval accusations that Jews murder Christians for their blood to the far-right conspiracy theories animating present-day political discourse, it's clear that the belief that Jews are plotting against society never dies--it just adapts to suit the times. In eight illuminating essays from brilliant Jewish writers and thinkers--including Tom Segev, Jill Jacobs, Mikolaj Grynberg, and editor Jo Glanville--Looking for an Enemy offers a fresh, poignant take on the experience of antisemitism and its historical context in the United States, Europe, and Israel. Eye-opening and evocative, Looking for an Enemy explores how an irrational belief can still flourish in a supposedly rational age.
