Description
Hostility towards Jews in contemporary Europe has raised fears that a new form of antisemitism is on the rise in a continent long troubled by such racism. Others question both the "newness" of this phenomenon and the level of threat it poses, arguing that it is the continent's Muslim population that now faces the greatest adversity. This course will place antisemitism and Islamophobia in a wider historical and comparative context. While contemporary critics often draw parallels between antisemitism and Islamophobia, until recently, few historians have considered the histories of Europe's two "enemies"--the Jews and the Muslims--in the same frame. This course will explore a comparative approach to studying the two phenomena. Through examining Christian Europe's relationship to the Jewish and Muslim "other" over time, it will consider how projects of exclusion have overlapped and diverged over the centuries.
