What is Contemporary Antisemitism : Canada and the World about?
This volume grew out of a conference, Antisemitism: The Politicization of Prejudice in the Contemporary World, held at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto in February 2003. The conference took place in a heated political climate of international tension and war and was shaped by intense concerns about the revival of forms of prejudice that, many thought, had been consigned to the dustbins of history. Among these, antisemitism, the focus of this volume, is reappearing in new ways and in unexpected strength. However assessed, this resurgence is of deep concern to the academic community and to informed citizens everywhere. And yet, we know too little. Is contemporary antisemitism an eerie echo of the past, or is it driven by new combinations of political, economic, and religious forces? How powerful are the anti-Jewish trends that so many have detected? And how should liberal democratic societies respond? At the University of Toronto, we tried to map the antisemitic terrain, to make important distinctions, and to put various strategies of response into critical perspective.
