Editorial Reviews
Review
"Antisemitism and Xenphobia in Germany After Unification is a valuable addition to the literature and can be recommended to scholars with a general interest in German politics after unification, as well as an accessible introductory text for graduate as well as undergraduate courses. Particularly for those not familiar with the vast German-language literature on the extreme right, it brings together a broad range of research results and offers a treasure of factual information."--American Journal of Sociology
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Antisemitism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification (Hardcover)
Since unification, Germany has experienced profound changes, including the reawakening of xenophobic hat crime, antisemitic incidents, and racist violence. This book presents the most recent research conducted by a team of American and German experts in political science, sociology, mass communication, and history. These experts analyze the degree of antisemitism, xenophobia, remembrance, and Holocaust knowledge in German public opinion; the groups and organizations that propagate prejudice and hate; and the German, American, and Jewish perceptions of, and reactions to, these phenomena. This is crucial reading for students and scholars of Germany, the Holocaust, and antisemitism, and will be fascinating for anyone interested in this timely and important issue in modern Germany.
