The subject of anti-Semitism, not long ago thought to be a dead
issue, has been revised due to the conflict between Israel and the
Palestinians. Maccoby traces the now topical discussion of the
origins of Anti-Semitism, and especially its development in the
modern world. The key questions that are addressed include: How is
it that this medieval prejudice proved so lasting and potent? Are
the roots of anti-Semitism religious? If so, how do these roots
differ in Christianity and Islam? By what means did it bridge the
gap between medievalism and Enlightenment? How was it that many of
the most respected Enlightenment figures (such as Voltaire)
dedicated as they were to tolerance and pluralism, retained a
virulent anti-Semitism? These questions, and many more, are dealt
with as Maccoby explores the roots of the anti-Semitism, tracing it
from its origins, and shows how it has changed in accordance with
the shifting ideas of the modern world but without changing in its
essence. Antisemitism and Modernity is essential reading for those
with interests in the development of anti-Semitism, its
manifestation in the current world and its future.
