Abstract

"M. Lindsay Kaplan expands the study of the history of racism through an analysis of the medieval Christian concept of Jewish servitude. Developed through exegetical readings of Biblical figures in canon law, this discourse produces a racial status of hereditary inferiority that justifies the subordination not only of Jews, but of Muslims and Africans as well"--

Abstract

In this work, François Soyer examines the nature of medieval anti-Jewish sentiment and violence. Analysing developments in Europe between 1100 and 1500, he points to the tensions in medieval anti-Jewish thought amongst thinkers who hoped to convert Jews and blamed Talmudic scholarship for their obduracy and yet who also, conversely, often essentialized Judaism to the point that it transformed into the functional equivalent of the modern concept of race. He argues that we should not consider antisemitism as a monolithic concept but accept the existence of independent, historical meanings and thus of antisemitisms (plural), including 'medieval antisemitism' as distinct from anti-Judaism.

Abstract

In this study, Ryan Tafilowski offers a fresh interpretation of the place of Israel in the theology of Paul Althaus (1888-1966), co-author of Erlangen Opinion on the Aryan Paragraph, one of the most important documents in the history of Christian antisem[i]tism. Bringing Althaus into conversation with Barth, Brunner, and Bonhoeffer, Tafilowski broadens his inquiry to questions of political theology, ethnic identity, social ethics, and ecclesiology. In an age of mass migration and resurgent nationalisms, this investigation into the logic ethno-nationalist theologies is a timely contribution. --

Abstract

This book explores the work and legacy of Professor David Cesarani OBE, a leading British scholar and expert on Jewish history who helped to shape Holocaust research, remembrance and education in the UK. It is a unique combination of chapters produced by researchers, curators and commemoration activists who either worked with and/or were taught by the late Cesarani. The chapters in this collection consider the legacies of Cesarani’s contribution to the discipline of history and the practice of public history. The contributors offer reflections on Cesarani’s approach and provide new insights into the study of Anglo-Jewish history, immigrants and minorities and the history and public legacies of the Holocaust.
