“Compiled by Mikael Shainkman, a researcher at Tel Aviv University, this informative collection of papers focusses largely – but not exclusively – on contemporary European anti-Semitism. … Shainkman’s collection, in short, constitutes a valuable addition to the corpus of literature about contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe and elsewhere. Experts on anti-Semitism, as well as laymen interested in this phenomenon, will undoubtedly discover much of interest amongst its contributions.” —David Rodman, Israel Affairs, Vol. 25
