Antisemitism books analyze the roots, evolution, and consequences of antisemitism. Scholars have written reams about the enduring hatred today called antisemitism, which is also called anti-Judaism. They have studied its origins in Christian thought, multiple manifestations in Western civilization, expressions of prejudice and discrimination in law and society, and myriad examples of shocking violence across the millennia. Pamela Nadell’s forthcoming book Antisemitism, an American Tradition shows the many ways in which this enduring hatred found a home in America.
Pamela Nadell, a historian and professor at American University, has spent over 40 years exploring Jewish history and gender studies. In a recent interview with Washington Jewish Week, she shared insights into her celebrated career as an author, past president of the Association for Jewish Studies, and advocate against antisemitism, highlighting her dedication to scholarship and community leadership.
