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.
