At a time when there is an evident socio-economic, political and cultural structural shift in the processes and practices associated with contemporary manifestations of antisemitism globally, it is important to explore its origins and examine whether the circumstances of its genesis can shed light on its longevity and adaptability. Few scholars are more qualified to undertake such a task than the authors of this volume, who have done so much to develop and advance the discipline of generative anthropology. In this study their groundbreaking hypothesis on the singular event that gave rise to human language and by extension human culture finds a fascinating parallel in the Jewish people's discovery/invention of monotheism, giving rise to historical resentments and hostility. The volume will be of interest to scholars working in the field of anti-discrimination and antisemtitism, as well as human rights scholars and cultural historians in general.

Kaum ein Thema in der Geschichte des Holocaust hat solche Kontroversen ausgelöst wie Gewalttaten gegen Juden von einheimischer Seite in den von der Wehrmacht während der ersten Wochen des deutsch-sowjetischen Krieges im Sommer 1941 besetzten Gebieten – von Lettland bis Bessarabien. Die Studie untersucht Gewalttaten von deutscher und ukrainischer Seite anhand der Geschehnisse in mehreren Dutzend Orten in der Westukraine und fragt auch nach der Bedeutung eines sowjetischen Massenmords an Gefängnisinsassen vor dem Rückzug. Auf breiter Quellengrundlage und unter umfassender Berücksichtigung der Kontexte – des Holocaust, der sowjetischen Verbrechen sowie des Versuchs einer ukrainischen Staatsbildung – entsteht so ein neuer Blick auf die Geschehnisse. Kai Struve hat ein Standardwerk vorgelegt, welches in den Kontroversen um NS- und Sowjetverbrechen unverzichtbar sein wird. This study investigates acts of anti-Semitic violence committed by Germans and Ukrainians in several dozen locations in Western Ukraine. The study’s broad consideration of contexts – the Holocaust, Soviet crimes, and Ukrainian state formation – leads to a new view of these events. The work is sure to become an indispensable resource in understanding controversies about Nazi and Soviet crimes.

For English-speaking readers, this book serves as an introduction to an important French intellectual whose work, especially on the issues of antisemitism and anti-Zionism, runs counter to the hostility shown toward Jews by some representatives of contemporary critical theory. It presents for the first time in English five essays by Éric Marty, previously published in France, with a new preface by the author addressed to his American readers. The focus of these essays is the debate in France and elsewhere in Europe concerning the "Jew." The first essay on Jean Genet, one of postwar France's most important literary figures, investigates the nature of Genet's virulent antisemitism and hatred of Israel and its significance for an understanding of contemporary phenomena. The curious reappearance of St. Paul in theological and political discourse is discussed in another essay, which describes and analyses the interest that secular writers of the far left have shown in Paul's "universalism" placed over and against Jewish or Israeli particularism. The remaining essays are more polemical in nature and confront the anti-Israeli attacks by Alain Badiou and Gilles Deleuze.

This book explores anti-Jewish violence in Russian-ruled Lithuania. It begins by illustrating how widespread anti-Jewish feelings were among the Christian population in 19 th century, focusing on blood libel accusations as well as describing the role of modern antisemitism. Secondly, it tries to identify the structural preconditions as well as specific triggers that turned anti-Jewish feelings into collective violence and analyzes the nature of this violence. Lastly, pogroms in Lithuania are compared to anti-Jewish violence in other regions of the Russian Empire and East Galicia. This research is inspired by the cultural turn in social sciences, an approach that assumes that violence is filled with meaning, which is “culturally constructed, discursively mediated, symbolically saturated, and ritually regulated.” The author argues that pogroms in Lithuania instead followed a communal pattern of ethnic violence and was very different from deadly pogroms in other parts of the Russian Empire.
