"This Very Short Introduction untangles the history of the phenomenon of antisemitism, focusing on the ideas and conditions that caused the resurgence in the 19th century: from its roots in ancient religious conflict to the pressures of modernization, and the rise of nationalism, Romanticism, and 'scientific' racial ideas. This is a succinct examination of a complex issue, and one which is brought right up to date with a discussion of Holocaust denial, 'anti-Zionism', and the emergence of new forms of antisemitism around the world today."--BOOK JACKET.
