Janet Lloyd heeft meer dan zeventig boeken uit het Frans vertaald, waardoor baanbrekende werken van denkers als Jean-Pierre Vernant, Marcel Detienne en Philippe Descola toegankelijk werden voor een breder publiek. Haar uitgebreide oeuvre overbrugt linguïstische en culturele kloven, waardoor complexe filosofische en antropologische ideeën toegankelijk worden. Lloyd wordt erkend voor haar nauwgezette aandacht voor de nuances van de oorspronkelijke teksten, en geeft deze weer met zowel wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid als literaire gratie. Haar vertalingen dienen als essentiële bronnen voor academisch onderzoek en de voortdurende dialoog over Franse intellectuele tradities.

From a leading historian of Nazi Germany, a new exploration of the evolution of policies that led to the horror of the Holocaust.One of the continuing puzzles of twentieth-century history is how Germany moved from a kind of anti-Semitism that was despicable, but did not seem exceedingly dangerous, to the Final Solution. This question has been much debated in recent years, and historians have arrived at very different answers.In Nazi Anti-Semitism , Philippe Burrin, one of the leading historians of Nazi Germany, offers a new understanding of the evolution of Nazi thought and policy. Disagreeing with those such as Daniel Goldhagen (author of Hitler's Willing Executioners ) who would condemn the German population as a whole for being inherently anti-Jewish, Burrin presents a more nuanced picture and shows how Nazi policy evolved gradually. How the Germans proceeded from seemingly unthinkable premises to the actual horror of the Holocaust is the story that he tells in this essential book.Burrin's France Under the Germans , published by The New Press in 1997, received widespread praise and has become a seminal work. Already published to great acclaim in France, Nazi Anti-Semitism opens new perspectives in a vital historical debate with continuing relevance.
