The Vidal Sassoon Studies in Antisemitism, Racism, and Prejudice offers a high-level platform within academia for understanding the historical and contemporary contexts of antisemitism and racism. A critical and scientific series aimed to explore the crosscurrents of time and place, and to address a broad spread of current and theoretical questions. The Vidal Sassoon Studies in Antisemitism, Racism, and Prejudice reach beyond intellectual traditions and disciplinary boundaries to examine the singularities of anti-Jewish prejudice with relation and in the context of other forms of discrimination. The series features both established and emerging scholarly voices making important and lasting contributions to the understanding of the historical, sociological and cultural dynamics of difference and prejudice.

Witnessing the Witness of War Crimes, Mass Murder, and Genocide

From the 1920s to the Present

Manuela Consonni, Philip Galland Nord

Band 4 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

Rethinking the concepts of "witnessing" and "witness" is highly relevant to the study of war crimes, mass murder and genocide. Through multiple readings, the volume shows the meanings and functions of witnessing in a political and historical context marked by the emergence of multiculturalism. The ultimate goal is the exploration of divergent and intersectional positions of the witness and witnessing as both concrete and hermeneutical categories. As a result, the mechanisms of social, political, and psychological oppression, murder and genocide will become tangible and understandable with greater precision and finesse.

Jews and Muslims in Contemporary Spain

Redefining National Boundaries

Martina L. Weisz

Band 2 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

The book analyzes the place of religious difference in late modernity through a study of the role played by Jews and Muslims in the construction of contemporary Spanish national identity. The focus is on the transition from an exclusive, homogeneous sense of collective Self toward a more pluralistic, open and tolerant one in an European context. This process is approached from different dimensions. At the national level, it follows the changes in nationalist historiography, the education system and the public debates on national identity. At the international level, it tackles the problem from the perspective of Spanish foreign policy towards Israel and the Arab-Muslim states in a changing global context. From the social-communicational point of view, the emphasis is on the construction of the Self–Other dichotomy (with Jewish and Muslim others) as reflected in the three leading Spanish newspapers.

Sartre, Jews, and the Other

Rethinking Antisemitism, Race, and Gender

Manuela Consonni, Vivian Liska

Band 1 in dieser Reihe

The starting point for this compilation is the wish to rethink the concept of antisemitism, race and gender in light of Sartre’s pioneering Réflexions sur la Question Juive seventy years after its publication. The book gathers texts by prestigious scholars from different disciplines in the Humanities and the Social Sciences, with the objective or revisiting this work locating it within the setting of two other pioneering – and we argue, related – publications, namely Simone De Beauvoir’s Le deuxième sexe of 1949 and Franz Fanon’s Peau noire et masques blancs of 1952. This particular and original standpoint sheds new light on the different meanings and political functions of the concept of antisemitism in a political and historical context marked by the post-modern concepts of multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism.
