Ten Myths about the Jews analyzes the complex facets of
anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism in an accessible and easy-to-read
format. Based on wide research, Brazilian historian Maria Luiza
Tucci Carneiro examines different manifestations against Jews and
their faith through history and political culture along the
centuries. Ten omnipresent accusations were configured by
anti-Semites in axioms that became myths: Myth 1: The Jews killed
Christ. Myth 2: The Jews are a secret entity. Myth 3: The Jews
control the world economy. Myth 4: There are no poor Jews. Myth 5:
The Jews are greedy. Myth 6: The Jews have no homeland. Myth 7: The
Jews are racists. Myth 8: The Jews are parasites. Myth 9: The Jews
control the media. Myth 10: The Jews manipulate the United States.
Tucci Carneiro unmasks the roots of anti-Semitism and exposes
contemporary prejudices. Her book is an invitation to reflect upon
current realities marked by racism and shows how the main myths
about the Jews have been vested of a verisimilitude that has
persisted for the last 2000 years, all over the world, by means of
hatred of the other, political/religious opportunism and economic
deceit. The myths are kept alive by means of constant repetition
and re-elaboration of a particular narrative, invariably seductive.
The author proves each of the ten myths in terms of their
historical record, their origins and purposes. Even though Jews are
fully integrated into western society in multiple ways
(entrepreneurship, medicine, literature, philosophy, the arts),
racist myths against the community have been particularly
resilient; they attempt to override common sense and their
continuous circulation and rehashing through scapegoating and
caricature has had profound negative repercussions for society as a
whole. Ten Myths, now published in five languages, is an essential
tool in the struggle against the discourse of racist hatred.
