A course that I’m teaching in Fall, 2024, to undergraduates at Brown University:
Antisemitism is sometimes called the “longest hatred,” and today it is on the rise. This class examines both the how and the why. We will examine the origin and history of the major antisemitic tropes, including the Jew as rapacious capitalist; Christ-killer; socialist; parasite; and White colonialist. Our goal is to explore not only how and why those tropes came to be, but also where and why today some of them endure.
