Anti-Semitism in British Society, 1876-1939

Více o knize

Focusing on the period from 1876 to 1939, this study explores the evolution of anti-Semitism in Britain against a backdrop of Jewish immigration and socio-political unrest. Holmes traces the ideological roots of hostility, initially based on religious and cultural differences, which shifted to a racially charged narrative post-World War I, influenced by conspiracy theories like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The book employs historical and sociological methods to unravel the complex factors contributing to anti-Semitic sentiments, challenging simplistic explanations.
