Antisemitism and the Left

Meer over het boek

Exploring the dual nature of universalism, this book examines its role in both promoting inclusion and perpetuating exclusion, particularly concerning the Jewish experience. It highlights how universalism has been a catalyst for Jewish emancipation while simultaneously fostering harmful stereotypes and the notion of a 'Jewish question.' Through an analysis of Enlightenment thought, Marxism, critical theory, and contemporary leftist discourse, the author seeks to reclaim universalism from its oppressive and antisemitic implications, offering a nuanced critique of its historical and ideological struggles.
