At the close of the twentieth century the stereotyping and
demonization of 'others', whether on religious, nationalist,
racist, or political grounds, has become a burning issue. Yet
comparatively little attention has been paid to how and why we
fabricate images of the 'other' as an enemy or 'demon' to be
destroyed. This innovative book fills that gap through an
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural approach that brings together a
distinguished array of historians, anthropologists, psychologists,
literary critics, and feminists.
The historical sweep covers Greco-Roman Antiquity, the MIddle Ages,
and the MOdern Era. Antisemitism receives special attention because
of its longevity and centrality to the Holocaust, but it is
analyzed here within the much broader framework of racism and
xenophobia. The plurality of viewpoints expressed in this volume
provide fascinating insights into what is common and what is unique
to the many varieties of prejudice, stereotyping, demonization, and
hatred.
