In this book historians and social scientists examine boycotts from
the eighteenth century to the present day. Employed in struggles
against British rule in the American colonies, against racial
discrimination in the United States during the Civil Rights
movement, and Apartheid in South Africa, today it is Israel that is
the focus of a campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
(BDS). Boycotts have featured in campaigns undertaken by labour,
consumer and nationalist movements. Jews were the focus of some
boycotts instigated by nationalist movements in Central and Eastern
Europe and Jewish businesses were targeted by the National
Socialist regime in Germany. In this collection, contributors
explore the history of past boycott movements and examine the
different narratives put forward by proponents and opponents of the
current BDS movement directed against Israel: one which places the
movement within a history of struggles for 'human rights'; the
other which regards BDS as the latest manifestation of an
antisemitic tradition.
