POSTED TO H-ANTISEMITISM and H-HOLOCAUST
Hank Greenspan faults me for not mentioning rightists who are antisemites in my two blogs that criticizes tendencies toward populist antisemitism among social democrats.
This forum was posted while we transitioned to the new format.
The various contributions raise an important set of methodological and historical questions in addition to responding to David Nirenberg's important book, Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition.
It includes discussions of the book as a whole, as well as more focused analyses of the ancient period, medieval era, Reformation, Enlightenment and Emancipation.
I understand that a blog post can't include a lot of nuance. But how does the role Jews played in creating/leading labor movements and related in the U.S. and (when possible) in Europe--thus becoming the internationalist Left menace rather than the Right one--fit your theory?
