Safety Through Solidarity

"Journalists Shane Burley and Ben Lorber present a sorely-needed progressive and intersectional approach to the vital question: What can we do about antisemitism? From online trolling of Jews by the 'alt-right' to synagogue shootings by white nationalists to the spread of QAnon and George Soros conspiracy theories, antisemitism is a fixture of U.S. politics today. Its rise is part and parcel of growing exclusionary nationalist movements - putting multiracial democracy itself at risk. At the same time, conversations about antisemitism are more polarized than ever. How is antisemitism connected to anti-Blackness, xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, and other forms of oppression? How do we build the coalitions and movements we need to fight it all together? Why is it important to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Israel's oppression of Palestinians and antisemitism? Using personal stories, historical deep-dives, front-line reporting, and interviews with leading change-makers, Lorber and Burley help the reader understand how antisemitism works, what's at stake in contemporary debates, and how we can build true safety in solidarity"--
