Why this book? Why now? A Convenient Hatred reveals the ways the stereotypes and myths that lie at the heart of a particular hatred have evolved and why those lies persist despite heroic efforts to counter them. The book also reveals the power of words and the role that leaders (political, religious, economic, and social) play in keeping antisemitism and other hatreds alive. |
“This book is a tour de force of one of the most intriguing and disturbing phenomena in history. Tracing the origins and evolution of antisemitism from antiquity to the present day, this book provides a well-informed, highly accessible, and admirably balanced account.”
Omer Bartov, John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of
European History, Brown University
“…Delineates with clarity and intelligence the long history of discrimination, insult, and assault against Jews.”
