Book Synopsis Philosemitism, Antisemitism and 'the Jews' by : Tony Kushner
Download or read book Philosemitism, Antisemitism and 'the Jews' written by Tony Kushner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosemitism, Antisemitism and 'the Jews' both honours and carries on the work of The Rev. Dr. James Parkes (1896-1981), a pioneer in the many different fields involving the study of Jewish/non-Jewish relations. The collection is designed to examine both the specific and broader themes of Parkes' life work in relation to tolerance and intolerance. From antiquity to today, Jews have often been defined as 'aliens'; these essays consider the effects of such legislative and socio-cultural exclusion on the self-definition of the dominant society. Philosemitism, Antisemitism and 'the Jews' employs an interdisciplinary framework, bringing together the work of scholars from both sides of the Atlantic and Israel, who work in history, theology, political philosophy, legal theory and literary studies. Eminent historians and theorists of tolerance and intolerance, including Gavin Langmuir, David Theo Goldberg, Norman Solomon and Tony Kushner, are joined by younger scholars researching new developments in the field.

Book excerpt: This fascinating book has two aims. The first is to draw attention to the existence of a persisting and virtually unrecognised tradition of 'philosemitism' which manifested itself in Britain and elsewhere in the English-speaking world during every significant international outbreak of antisemitism during the century after 1840. The second is to offer a typology of philosemitism, distinguishing between varieties of support for the Jewish people.
Book Synopsis Philosemitism in History by : Jonathan Karp
Download or read book Philosemitism in History written by Jonathan Karp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often philosemitism, the idealization of Jews and Judaism, has been simplistically misunderstood as merely antisemitism in sheep's clothing. This book takes a different approach, surveying the phenomenon from antiquity to the present day, and highlighting its rich complexity and broad impact on Western culture. Philosemitism in History includes fourteen essays by specialist historians, anthropologists, literary scholars and scholars of religion, ranging from medieval philosemitism, to such modern and contemporary topics as the African American depiction of Jews as ethnic role models, the Zionism of Christian evangelicals, pro-Jewish educational television in West Germany, and the current fashion for Jewish kitsch memorabilia in contemporary East-Central Europe. An extensive introductory chapter offers a thorough and original overview of the topic. The book underscores both the endurance and the malleability of philosemitism, drawing attention to this important, yet widely neglected, facet of Jewish - non-Jewish relations.
Book Synopsis The Jew as Legitimation by : David J. Wertheim
Download or read book The Jew as Legitimation written by David J. Wertheim and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the historical phenomenon of “the Jew as Legitimation.” Contributors discuss how Jews have been used, through time, to validate non-Jewish beliefs. The volume dissects the dilemmas and challenges this pattern has presented to Jews. Throughout history, Jews and Judaism have served to legitimize the beliefs of Gentiles. Jews functioned as Augustine’s witnesses to the truth of Christianity, as Christian Kabbalist’s source for Protestant truths, as an argument for the enlightened claim for tolerance, as the focus of modern Christian Zionist reverence, and as a weapon of contemporary right wing populism against fears of Islamization. This volume challenges understandings of Jewish-Gentile relations, offering a counter-perspective to discourses of antisemitism and philosemitism.
Download or read book Philosemitism written by W. D. Rubinstein and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosemitism is admiration and support for Jews by non-Jews, especially during times of anti-semitic persecution. This work discusses philosemitism in Britain, America, Australia and Canada during the century between the Damascus blood libel of 1840 and the Holocaust (with a further chapter on the post-1945 situation). Philosemitism draws attention to a powerful and widespread movement which befriended the Jewish people during times of persecution, and which is all but unknown to most historians.
Book Synopsis Between Philosemitism and Antisemitism by : Alan T. Levenson
Download or read book Between Philosemitism and Antisemitism written by Alan T. Levenson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosemitism, as Alan T. Levenson explains it, is "any pro-Jewish or pro-Judaic utterance or act." The German term for this phenomenon appeared in the language at roughly the same time as its more famous counterpart, antisemitism, and its emergence signifies an important, often neglected aspect of German-Jewish encounters. Between Philosemitism and Antisemitism offers the first assessment of the non-Jewish defense of Jews, Judaism, and Jewishness from the foundation of the German Reich in 1871 until the ascent of the Nazis in 1932, when befriending Jews became a crime.Levenson takes an interdisciplinary look at fiction, private correspondence, and published works defending Jews and Judaism in early-twentieth-century Germany. He reappraises the missionary Protestant defense of Judaism and advocacy of Jewry by members of the German peace movement. Literary analysis of middle-brow novels with positive Jewish characters and exploration of the reception of Herzlian Zionism further illuminate this often overlooked aspect of German-Jewish history. Between Philosemitism and Antisemitism shows the dynamic process by which a generally despised minority attracts defenders and supporters. It demonstrates that there was sympathy for Jews and Judaism in Imperial and Weimar Germany, although its effectiveness was bounded by the values of a bygone era and scattered across the political and social spectrum.Alan T. Levenson is a professor of Jewish history at Laura and Alvin Siegal College of Judaic Studies.

Book Synopsis The People of the Book by : Gertrude Himmelfarb
Download or read book The People of the Book written by Gertrude Himmelfarb and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Judaism has for too long been dominated by the theme of antisemitism, reducing Judaism to the recurrent saga of persecution and the struggle for survival. The history of philosemitism provides a corrective to that abysmal view, a reminder of the venerable religion and people that have been an inspiration for non-Jews as well as Jews. There is a poetic justice – or historic justice – in the fact that England, the first country to expel the Jews in medieval times, has produced the richest literature of philosemitism in modern times. From Cromwell supporting the readmission of the Jews in the 17th century, to Macaulay arguing for the admission of Jews as Members of Parliament in the 19th century, to Churchill urging the recognition of the state of Israel in the 20th, some of England's most eminent writers and statesmen have paid tribute to Jews and Judaism. Their speeches and writing are powerfully resonant today. As are novels by Walter Scott, Disraeli, and George Eliot, which anticipate Zionism well before the emergence of that movement and look forward to the state of Israel, not as a refuge for the persecuted, but as a "homeland" rooted in Jewish history. A recent history of antisemitism in England regretfully observes that English philosemitism is "a past glory." This book may recall England – and not only England – to that past glory and inspire other countries to emulate it. It may also reaffirm Jews in their own faith and aspirations.
Book Synopsis Protestant Bible Scholarship: Antisemitism, Philosemitism and Anti-Judaism by : Arjen F. Bakker
Download or read book Protestant Bible Scholarship: Antisemitism, Philosemitism and Anti-Judaism written by Arjen F. Bakker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in Open Access with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation Historical criticism of the Bible emerged in the context of protestant theology and is confronted in every aspect of its study with otherness: the Jewish people and their writings. However, despite some important exceptions, there has been little sustained reflection on the ways in which scholarship has engaged, and continues to engage, its most significant Other. This volume offers reflections on anti-Semitism, philo-Semitism and anti-Judaism in biblical scholarship from the 19th century to the present. The essays in this volume reflect on the past and prepare a pathway for future scholarship that is mindful of its susceptibility to violence and hatred.
Book Synopsis Key Concepts in the Study of Antisemitism by : Sol Goldberg
Download or read book Key Concepts in the Study of Antisemitism written by Sol Goldberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is designed to assist university faculty and students studying and teaching about antisemitism, racism, and other forms of prejudice. In contrast with similar volumes, it is organized around specific concepts instead of chronology or geography. It promotes conversation about antisemitism across disciplinary, geographic, and thematic lines rather than privileging a single methodological paradigm, a specific academic field, or an overarching narrative. Its twenty-one chapters by leading scholars in diverse fields address the relationship to antisemitism of concepts ranging from Anti-Judaism to Zionism. Each chapter not only traces the history and major scholarly debates around a key concept; it also presents an original argument, points to avenues for further research, and exemplifies a method of investigation.
Book Synopsis Jews in Japan: Presence and Perception by : Silvia Pin
Download or read book Jews in Japan: Presence and Perception written by Silvia Pin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews in Japan: Presence and Perception. Antisemitism, Philosemitism and International Relations is a study on the history of real and imagined Jews in Japan, which discusses the little known cultural, political and economic ties between Jews and Japan, and follows the evolution of Jewish stereotypes in Japan in the last century and a half. The book begins with the arrival of Jews and their image in late 19th to early 20th-century Japan, when the seeds of later stereotyped visions were sown. The discussion then focuses on wartime Japan, delving into the complex and mixed attitudes of the Japanese Empire toward Jews. In postwar Japan, the partial reception of the Holocaust intertwined with earlier antisemitic and philosemitic manifestations, resulting in instances of both hatred and admiration toward Jews. Finally, the book explores the recent reframing of Japanese-Jewish historical encounters within the context of the growing ties between Japan and Israel. This study sheds new light on the little explored relations between Jews and Japan, offering thought-provoking insights into the coexistence of antisemitism and philosemitism, the political and diplomatic uses of Jewish history, and the perpetuation of Jewish stereotypes in a land devoid of a local Jewish population.
Book Synopsis Philo-Semitism in Nineteenth-Century German Literature by : Irving Massey
Download or read book Philo-Semitism in Nineteenth-Century German Literature written by Irving Massey and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work begins with an attempt to understand the philosophy of Nazism and its attendant anti-Semitism, as a necessary prelude to the study of philo-Semitism, which also displays a continuous tradition to the present day. Most of the non-Jewish authors in Germany in the nineteenth century expressed both anti-Semitic and philo-Semitic views (as did most of the German-Jewish authors of that same time); the following work deals with philo-Semitic texts by the non-Jewish authors of the period. The writer who provides the largest body of relevant material is Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, but works by Gutzkow, Bettine von Arnim, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Hebbel, Freytag, Raabe, Fontane, Grillparzer, Ebner-Eschenbach, Anzengruber, and Ferdinand von Saar are also examined, as are several tales by the Alsatian authors Erckmann and Chatrian. There is a short chapter on women and philo-Semitism. The conclusion draws attention to the feelings of guilt that are revealed in a number of the texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central themes of The Whitewashing of the Yellow Badge are the attitudes, behavior and actions of gentile towards Jew in postwar Germany.

Book Synopsis Anti-semitism Before the Holocaust by : Albert S. Lindemann
Download or read book Anti-semitism Before the Holocaust written by Albert S. Lindemann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizes the history of antisemitism from ancient times until 1933. Queries whether antisemitism is primarily the product of fantasies about Jews that were engendered by pre-Christian and Christian beliefs, or whether there is something about Jews themselves that has provoked hostility against them; emphasizes that explaining antisemitism does not justify it. Suggests that there is a middle ground between blaming the Jews and blaming the non-Jews. The relationship between the two is an interplay of fantasy and reality on the part of both. Many wild fantasies of antisemites were sometimes fed by realities. Notes that the Jews were not always a persecuted minority. In some periods their situation was good; in other periods, conflicts between Jews and non-Jews did not exceed "normal" conflicts of the time. Chimerical beliefs concerning the Jews (including racism and "Jewish communism") could be not only antisemitic but also philosemitic. Antisemitism surged in 19th-century Europe as a by-product of Jewish demographic, economic, and political expansion. World War I and the Russian Revolution brought on myths about the Jews' striving for world power - a myth that had a touch of reality. Objects to applying the Nazi paradigm to pre-Nazi antisemitism. No anti-Jewish writer of the late 19th-early 20th centuries can be regarded as a proto-Nazi - none of them called for the extermination of the Jews.
