Anti-Semitic Stereotypes Without Jews

The book delves into English history from 1290 to 1700, examining how anti-Semitic stereotypes evolved despite the absence of a Jewish population. It reveals that prejudice can persist and flourish without a specific target, highlighting the societal and cultural factors that contribute to the perpetuation of such attitudes. Through historical analysis, the work challenges the notion that stereotypes require a scapegoat, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of bias and discrimination.
