This is the first detailed study of anti-semitism, as an ideology,
among the British. First published in 1979, it concentrates on the
crucial period between 1876 and 1939 when, against a background of
Jewish immigration, war or the threat of war, and social and
economic unrest, hostility towards the Jewish community reached its
peak. Colin Holmes identifies the main strands of anti-semitic
thought and their expression, starting with the Eastern Crisis of
1876 which sparked off the first serious manifestation of
anti-semitism. He shows how, before 1914, opposition towards Jews
rested on religious and other perceived cultural distinctions. It
was only after the First World War that a sinister and significant
change of emphasis occurred: racism now became the dominant feature
of anti-semitism and was reinforced by theories of conspiracy, the
most notorious being The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Anti-semitism has no uniform cause or characteristic and a single
explanation cannot suffice. This book elucidates the complex range
of factors involved, using both historical and sociological methods
and drawing on extensive (and sometimes controversial) research.
