Landmark new book examines the history of English anti-Semitismhttp://www.robinshepherdonline.com/landmark-new-book-examines-the-history-of-english-anti-semitism/#more-2213I am using today’s posting to recommend a landmark new book by Anthony Julius, one of Britain’s top lawyers and academics. “Trials of the Diaspora, A History of Anti-Semitism in England†(see link below), is the first comprehensive study of English anti-Semitism ever to have been published.
At more than 800 pages it is a tome to be reckoned with. But do not allow its length to put you off. It is magnificently written and can be read either from cover to cover or as a reference book to be dipped into whenever the need arises.
The bulk of the book looks at anti-Semitism in England from medieval times to the present day with the last two chapters specifically devoted to anti-Zionism. An invaluable piece of scholarship and a must read for anyone professing interest in the subject. Buy it now. To do so, click here:
