PALGRAVE CRITICAL STUDIES OF ANTISEMITISM AND RACISM Jews, Liberalism, Antisemitism A Global History Edited by Abigail Green · Simon Levis Sullam Palgrave Critical Studies of Antisemitism and Racism Series Editor David Feldman Birkbeck College – University of London London, UK Palgrave Critical Studies of Antisemitism and Racism considers antisemitism from the ancient world to the present day. The series explores topical and theoretical questions and brings historical and multidisciplinary perspec- tives to bear on contemporary concerns and phenomena. Grounded in history, the series also reaches across disciplinary bound- aries to promote a contextualised and comparative understanding of anti- semitism. A contextualised understanding will seek to uncover the content, meanings, functions and dynamics of antisemitism as it occurred in the past and recurs in the present. A comparative approach will consider anti- semitism over time and place. Importantly, it will also explore the connec- tions between antisemitism and other exclusionary visions of society. The series will explore the relationship between antisemitism and other racisms as well as between antisemitism and forms of discrimination and prejudice articulated in terms of gender and sexuality.
