Description
A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism by Phyllis Goldstein explores the complex and often painful history of antisemitism through powerful stories. This thought-provoking book raises important questions about our assumptions, beliefs, and the ways we distinguish between ourselves and others. As individuals and as members of society, we are all implicated in these distinctions, right or wrong. By examining a particular hatred, Goldstein encourages us to consider the consequences of our actions and the importance of understanding and empathy. This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of a universal human experience. Through its powerful stories, A Convenient Hatred challenges readers to see themselves in the history of antisemitism, and to think critically about their own place within it.
