Die Welt des Antisemitismus

How did antisemitism become a global phenomenon? This book provides a historical-sociological analysis of global antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It opens up new perspectives on modern hostility towards Jews by combining the study of antisemitism with theories of globalisation and world society. It focuses on the development of a global enemy image, the formation of international networks, and the role of transnational mass communication. The book identifies key mechanisms of the globalisation of antisemitism and sheds light on the interplay between antisemitism, nationalism and globalisation.
