Anti-Judaism
Book • 1949
David Nirenberg's 'Anti-Judaism' explores the historical and structural role of anti-Judaism in shaping Western thought and identity over two millennia.
Nirenberg argues that, the West has defined itself in opposition to imagined characteristics of Jews and Judaism, using them as a consistent 'significant other'.
He analyzes how anti-Judaism has evolved and adapted across different periods, from early Christianity to the secular age.
The book examines how negative perceptions of Jews have been instrumental in the formation of Western values, norms, and institutions.
By tracing the persistent influence of anti-Judaism, Nirenberg sheds light on the complex relationship between Jews and the West.
His analysis provides a framework for understanding the deep-seated prejudices that continue to affect Jewish-Western relations.
