Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe by James Renton

Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe by James Renton

With case studies ranging from the Balkans to the UK, the contributors take the debate away from politicised polemics about whether or not Muslims are the new Jews. As well asa study of prejudice, this book also opens up a new area of inquiry: how Muslims, Jews, and others have responded to these historically connected racisms.

“This collection of essays outlines the groundwork for examining the interesting but often overlooked relationship between antiSemitism and Islamophobia in EuropeEssays provide a wide historical perspective from Crusader states of the Middle Ages through contemporary controversies. … Summing Up: Recommended. Faculty.” (B. Lieberman, Choice, Vol. 55 (6), February, 2018)

“The contributors to this volume seek to make connections between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia from the Crusades to modern times. Drawing on various case studies from across Europe, they describe the evolution of ideas about Judaism and Islam, noting how these have both combined and diverged, and how the adherents of these religions have responded.” (Survival, Issue 2, April, 2019 – May, 2019)
