About this book

Antisemitism on the Campus: Past & Present, edited by Eunice G. Pollack, is the first book of a multidisciplinary series on Antisemitism in America to be published by Academic Studies Press. In this volume, twenty-one leading scholars explore the roots and manifestations of antisemitism and anti- Zionism and the efforts to combat them at American, British, and South African colleges and universities in the 20th and 21st centuries. Topics such as antisemitism and anti-Zionism on individual campuses, in black militant groups, on the Far Left, and in academic organizations; students’ exposure to antisemitism and anti-Zionism through popular culture and the internet; discrimination against Jewish faculty, students and organizations; the anti- Israel boycott/divestment movement, among others, are covered.

Reviews

Dr. Sarah Schmidt:
From Pollack's perspective, and that of many of the articles included in this volume, anti-Zionism appears to have become the latest form of antisemitism. Campus activists unite around the thesis that true peace only will be possible when Zionists give up the idea of creating a Jewish homeland.
