Too often philosemitism, the idealization of Jews and Judaism, has
been simplistically misunderstood as merely antisemitism in sheep's
clothing. This book takes a different approach, surveying the
phenomenon from antiquity to the present day, and highlighting its
rich complexity and broad impact on Western culture. Philosemitism
in History includes fourteen essays by specialist historians,
anthropologists, literary scholars and scholars of religion,
ranging from medieval philosemitism, to such modern and
contemporary topics as the African American depiction of Jews as
ethnic role models, the Zionism of Christian evangelicals,
pro-Jewish educational television in West Germany, and the current
fashion for Jewish kitsch memorabilia in contemporary East-Central
Europe. An extensive introductory chapter offers a thorough and
original overview of the topic. The book underscores both the
endurance and the malleability of philosemitism, drawing attention
to this important, yet widely neglected, facet of Jewish -
non-Jewish relations.
