With case studies ranging from the Balkans to  the UK, the contributors take the debate away from politicised polemics about  whether or not Muslims are the new Jews. Much previous scholarship and public  discussion has focused on comparing European ideas about Jews and Judaism in  the past with contemporary attitudes towards Muslims and Islam. This volume  rejects this approach. Instead, it interrogates how the dynamic relationship  between antisemitism and Islamophobia has evolved over time and space. The  result is the uncovering of a previously unknown story in which European ideas  about Jews and Muslims were indeed connected, but were also ripped apart. Religion,  empire, nation-building, and war, all played their part in the complex  evolution of this relationship.  As well  asa study of prejudice, this book also opens up a new area of inquiry: how  Muslims, Jews, and others have responded to these historically connected  racisms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe volume  brings together leading scholars in the emerging field of  antisemitism-Islamophobia studies who work in a diverse range of disciplines:  anthropology, history, sociology, critical theory, and literature. Together,  they help us to understand a Europe in which Jews and Arabs were once called  Semites, and today are widely thought to be on two different sides of the War  on Terror.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-04-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137412997\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-41302-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 311\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47442711543948,"sku":"9781137412997","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137412997.jpg?v=1775916579","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137412997","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
