Off-White - Why Antisemitism Persists

Why can't we talk about antisemitism?'I cannot wait for Off-White to be read, debated and put into practice.' Naomi Klein, author of DoppelgangerAs claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations.There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.***'Timely and valuable... [Shabi's] key message is a vital one - that the fight against antisemitism is an essential part of the fight against all injustice and dehumanisation.' Observer, Book of the Week'A masterpiece defined by moral clarity, humanity and insight.' Owen Jones'An invaluable guide for anyone who seeks to understand issues over which we stumble far too often.' George Monbiot'With a generous spirit and a humane compass, Rachel Shabi guides us through a minefield.' Gary Younge
