This class explores the main histories, concepts, and practices of antisemitism. It analyzes how and why they emerged and what accounts for their persistence. Why are Jews targeted? Is there a �new antisemitism' since the 1970s� that differs significantly from older manifestations? How is antisemitism related to anti-Zionism? What is its relationship with racism? And how have political, social, and religious groups and organizations responded to these threats and what challenges have they faced? Same as HIST 2810.
