Antisemitism in the Age of Democracy Fatigue
Antisemitism is said to adapt to different times, places, and ideologies. What is antisemitism like today? This talk identifies new expressions of Jew hatred that are emerging in our time of democracy fatigue and stress. By analyzing antisemitism today, we can also better understand the current crisis facing Western culture.
This event is co-sponsored by the Centre for the Study of France and the Francophone World
