Antisemitism and Jew Hatred

An unflinching and up-to-date examination of the latest trends and research in antisemitism

In Antisemitism and Jew Hatred: Psychological Perspectives, experienced psychologist and researcher Julie Ancis delivers an insightful and empirically grounded discussion of the social and psychological dimensions of antisemitism. The book offers a collection of groundbreaking perspectives from leading scholars who dissect contemporary antisemitic thought. Together, they explain the impact of online discourse on antisemitism, generational shifts in attitudes towards Israel, Jews, Zionism, and antisemitism, and the cognitive processes that power antisemitic prejudice.

The authors provide three comprehensive sections on historical and modern antisemitism. They begin with the historical and present-day manifestations of antisemitism, including its sociocultural, political, and psychological implications. They then cover cutting-edge research on antisemitism, including online trends and detection methods. Finally, the book concludes with extensive information on how to combat antisemitism in the real world.

Inside the book:

• An expansive and authoritative review of the psychological and social foundations of antisemitism
• Practical strategies for scholars, educators, and researchers interested in combating antisemitism and mitigating its harmful effects
• An accessible synthesis of new, empirical research, historical analysis, and contemporary trends in technology and society as they pertain to antisemitism

Perfect for professors and researchers of psychology, Antisemitism and Jew Hatred is also a must-read for clinicians, mental health practitioners, researchers with an interest in prejudice, hate, and discrimination, as well as the social and political movements motivated by those things, and undergraduate and graduate students of psychology.
