Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew by Emmanuel Acho
From two New York Times bestelling authors, a disarmingly honest and propulsive investigation that will do for antisemitism what How to Be Antracist did for racism by connecting the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current controversial and complicated moment.
"This is a book where all pretense is gone…the authors are honest about what they don’t know, assumptions they’ve made and reactions they’ve had[It’s a book] for everyone… it provides readers an opportunity to learn basic information to refute antisemitism and educate others in everyday life… [It] is an accessible book that breaks down important topics in a way that includes relevant history and information, without judgment... Above all, it’s a book about hope — and Acho and Tishby never lose sight of that fact." – Jaime Herndon, The Jewish Book Council
“Two bestselling authors engage in an enlightening back-and-forth about Jewishness and antisemitism…An important dialogue at a fraught time, emphasizing mutual candor, curiosity, and respect.” –Kirkus
