A sophisticated contribution to debates in both the academic and
the public realms regarding the nature of antisemitism today.
 This groundbreaking anthology addresses the history and
challenges of using “antisemitism” and related terms as tools
for historical analysis and public discourse. Drawing together over
twenty essays by prominent scholars from Europe, Israel, and the
United States, the volume encourages readers to rethink assumptions
regarding the nature and meaning of Jewish history and the history
of relations between Jews and non-Jews. The book begins with a
revised and updated version of David Engel’s seminal essay
“Away from a Definition of Antisemitism.” Subsequent
contributions by renowned specialists in ancient, medieval, and
modern history, religious studies, and other fields explore the
various and changing definitions and uses of the term
“antisemitism” in a range of contexts, including ancient Rome
and Greece, the Byzantine Empire, medieval Europe, early modern and
modern Europe, North America, and the United Kingdom. The volume
also includes a section that focuses on the Second World War,
including the Holocaust and its memory. Engel offers a contemporary
response to conclude the book. Â First published in Hebrew in
2020 as a special issue of the journal Zion: A Quarterly for
Research in Jewish History in cooperation with the Zalman Shazar
Center in Jerusalem, this compelling collection has already had an
impact on the study of antisemitism in Israel. It is certain to
become a critical resource for scholars, policymakers, and
journalists researching antisemitism, Holocaust studies, and
related fields.
