Introduction: Democracy in Crisis -- The Roots of Antisemitism in Western Culture -- The View from the Right -- The View from the Left -- The View from Radical Political Islamism -- The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Re-Naturalised -- The Jewish Response to the Crisis -- Notes for a New Progressive Politics

"...To understand contemporary antisemitism, Lappin argues, it is essential to recognize the way in which its antecedents have become deeply embedded in Western and Middle Eastern cultures over millennia. This allows hostility to Jews to cross political boundaries easily, left and right, in a way that other forms of racism do not. Combatting antisemitism effectively requires a new progressive politics that addresses its root causes.The New Antisemitism is crucial reading for anyone concerned with the social pathologies unleashed by our current economic and political discontents." --
