A Rumor about the Jews: Conspiracy, Anti-Semitism, and the Protocols of Zion de Stephen Eric Bronner

A Rumor about the Jews: Conspiracy, Anti-Semitism, and the Protocols of Zion

Autor Stephen Eric Bronner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 sep 2018
In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery, the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking, often being twisted to suit its handlers' purposes, and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. In A Rumor About the Jews, Stephen Eric Bronner provides a history of this notorious fabrication—one which has renewed salience in a “post truth” society dominated by “fake news"—and explores its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. This new edition of Bronner's 2000 classic (described by Kirkus as "the best short book on anti-Semitism") expands the arguments of the first edition, bringing the work up to date in a new political context.

Bronner’s work is focused on the political with a strong interest in the historical, the cultural, and the religious. … From a Religious Studies perspective, Bronner’s analysis of the future of organized religion is important to consider.” (Michael Gillingham, Reading Religion, June 26, 2019)
From the reviews of the first edition:
“A coherent treatment of a complex issue and its most significant secular document. ... Bronner may have written the best short book on anti-Semitism.” (Kirkus Reviews, March 15, 2000)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“A coherent treatment of a complex issue and its most significant secular document...Bronner may have written the best short book on anti-Semitism.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“In his scholarly yet highly readable account of the history of this infamous work, Stephen Eric Bronner does a great service not only to those who fight against anti-Semitism, but those who fight against contemporary political fanaticism…”
—Jewish Currents

“A fascinating, readable, and most worthwhile addition to the literature.”
—H-Net

“[A Rumor About the Jews] places The Protocols of the Elders of Zion within a broader framework, arguing effectively that acceptance of the notorious forgery had as much to do with reactions against liberalism and democracy as it did with anti-Semitism...this book makes an original and valuable contribution to the literature.”
—John A. Drobnicki, Library Journal

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery, the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking, often being twisted to suit its handlers' purposes, and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. As recently as 2002, a documentary was aired in Egypt falsely presenting the Protocols as fact--and the Protocols is still regarded as a historical document in many other parts of the world. In A Rumor About the Jews, Stephen Eric Bronner systematically debunks the antisemitic assertions made in the Protocols. He also explores its history, its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century, and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. A work of intellectual history, A Rumor About the Jews takes the reader on a historical journey that provides a new and deeper understanding of an insidious ideology and its broader implications. Bronner's sharp and penetrating analysis offers new insights into the nature of antisemitism, along with a warning against underestimating the power of this hateful tract.
