This course examines
various definitions of anti-Semitism and traces the history of
anti-Semitism (or “anti-Judaism”) from the earliest arguments between
Christianizing Jews and "Judaizing" Christians
to the birth of Islam, through the period of Muslim expansion and the
Crusades, to the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and the Holocaust.
It looks at the differences among various types of Christian
anti-Semitism, Muslim anti-Semitism, and Jewish anti-Semitism, and
concludes with an attempt to look at contemporary forms of anti-Semitism
and attempts to combat it.
