Description

This book examines the complex relationship between European antisemitism and Islamophobia from the Crusades to the twenty-first century. It challenges traditional approaches by exploring how these two forms of prejudice have evolved over time and space, rather than comparing them directly.

The authors draw on a range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, sociology, critical theory, and literature, to uncover a previously unknown story about the interconnectedness of European ideas about Jews and Muslims. The book sheds light on how religion, empire, nation-building, and war have shaped this relationship, as well as how individuals and communities have responded to these forms of prejudice.

By exploring this complex and often overlooked history, the authors aim to provide a deeper understanding of Europe's past and its ongoing impact on contemporary society. This book is a valuable contribution to the emerging field of antisemitism-Islamophobia studies and offers insights into a Europe where Jews and Arabs were once considered part of a single group.
