The growing threat of antisemitism, racism and Islamophobia within
the European political landscape poses urgent and difficult
questions. These questions concern both commonalities and
connections between these forms of prejudice and persecution, and
differences regarding their discursive functions and the image of
the 'other' they project. In this volume we interrogate the
specific forms which antiracism and anti-antisemitism take in the
public sphere, their representation in scholarly discourses, and
the fact that they increasingly seem to be at home in separate, and
sometimes antagonistic, political and academic camps. We also
address the conceptual resources and research tools required to
study the unity that lies behind these varied phenomena. This
collection has a new introduction and brings together papers that
arose out of discussions in the European Sociological Association
Network on Racism and Antisemitism, published in European
Societies. The chapters relate to current issues in the area of
racism and anti-Semitism such as the notable impact of the
Israel-Palestine conflict on antisemitism in Europe, the contested
'antizionist' humour of Dieudonne in France, relations between
antisemitic and Islamophobic attitudes in Italy and Spain, the
problem of antisemitic reactions to Islamophobia in Arab media, the
historical relation of antisemitism to other kinds of racism in
German literary discourse and how their study can be instructive
for the investigation of antisemitism and Islamophobia today, the
difficulties Marxists internationally have faced in addressing
concerns about antisemitism, and current disconnections between
racism and antisemitism in the human sciences. These papers raise
fundamental issues of understanding the modern world. This book was
originally published as a special issue of European Studies.
