This is the first book to examine the relationship between European
antisemitism and Islamophobia from the Crusades until the
twenty-first century in the principal flashpoints of the two
racisms. With case studies ranging from the Balkans to the UK, the
contributors take the debate away from politicised polemics about
whether or not Muslims are the new Jews. Much previous scholarship
and public discussion has focused on comparing European ideas about
Jews and Judaism in the past with contemporary attitudes towards
Muslims and Islam. This volume rejects this approach. Instead, it
interrogates how the dynamic relationship between antisemitism and
Islamophobia has evolved over time and space. The result is the
uncovering of a previously unknown story in which European ideas
about Jews and Muslims were indeed connected, but were also ripped
apart. Religion, empire, nation-building, and war, all played their
part in the complex evolution of this relationship. As well as a
study of prejudice, this book also opens up a new area of inquiry:
how Muslims, Jews, and others have responded to these historically
connected racisms. The volume brings together leading scholars in
the emerging field of antisemitism-Islamophobia studies who work in
a diverse range of disciplines: anthropology, history, sociology,
critical theory, and literature. Together, they help us to
understand a Europe in which Jews and Arabs were once called
Semites, and today are widely thought to be on two different sides
of the War on Terror.
