Description
Religious Hatred: Prejudice, Islamophobia and Antisemitism in Global Context by Paul Hedges explores how scholarly studies can shed light on global examples of religious hatred. The book examines four key areas: theories of prejudice and violence, historical developments of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and race, contemporary Western antisemitism and Islamophobia, and prejudices beyond the West in Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. Each part features a special focus section, offering insights into the complex relationships between religion, identity, and hatred. Through case studies and innovative theories, Hedges identifies common patterns of prejudice and hatred across different cultures and regions, while also highlighting local context-specific factors. This book is an accessible and thought-provoking analysis for both general readers and students, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of religious intolerance and conflict.
