El. knyga: Jews Out of the Question: A Critique of Anti-Anti-Semitism

"[ a] thought-provoking new book." Monatshefte

"Lapidot's book joins a growing scholarly body of critical explorations into the conceptual operation and inner workings of the notion of antisemitism. Few, however, approach the matter with the analytical capability and conceptual sophistication of Lapidot. The original and at times dazzling analyses of an impressive line of thinkers is a remarkable feat in its own right, but the accomplishment is underlined by their organization to formulate a penetrating and thought-provoking critique of the contemporary discourse of anti-anti-Semitism." AJS Review

"Lapidot demonstrates the profound entanglement linking science and politics in anti-Semitic texts. Insisting that this science is at once a political science and a political program that defines modernity, Lapidot challenges the reader to rethink the knowledgeand the politicswe have inherited from it: from race and religion to construction and critique. The book is not only an urgent call to critically engage with one of the most established sites of consensus of our time but also reveals the enormous shortcomings of that consensus, even among its most stellar and respected representatives." Gil Anidjar, author of Semites: Race, Religion, Literature
