Hybrid Hate Jews Blacks and the Question of Race

"Tudor Parfitt's volume is an exercise in erudition. Draws on an extensive documentation, it offers a detailed reconstruction of the history of racism, and more precisely, the history of racism before racism as seen against the backdrop of the long confrontation (or "struggle," as the author calls it), between polygenism and monogenism." -- Monica Miniati, Quest. Issues in Contemporary Jewish History "While the early history of anti-Black racism and racialization has become a lively academic topic in recent decades, and a significant body of work exists on the history of antisemitism, these topics have rarely been examined in parallel. Parfitt presents a startling quantity of evidence for their persistent conflation across the centuries, and demonstrates conclusively that the West's "two fundamental hatreds" have more often than not occurred together" -- Jonathan Egid, TLS "Hybrid Hate is an outstanding book ... It is beautifully written and offers the reader original material and food for thought ... No future discussion of antisemitism or racialization will be able to ignore the thesis presented in this book." -- Shalva Weil, Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism "Engaging...a delight to read." -- Financial Times "What makes Parfitt's Hybrid Hate such a delight to read is his trust that the readers will draw their own conclusions from his work." -- Stephen Bush, Financial Times "Hybrid Hate is a thoroughly written and well-constructed book which makes a compelling argument to consider anti-Jewish and anti-Black racism together." -- Clive Gabay, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies "Hybrid Hate is a thoroughly written and well-constructed book which makes a compelling argument to consider anti-Jewish and anti-Black racism together." -- Clive Gabay, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies
