Philosemitism, Antisemitism and 'the Jews' - Perspectives from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century

Philosemitism, Antisemitism and ''the Jews'' both honours and continues the work of The Rev. Dr. James Parkes (1896-1981), a pioneer in many different fields of Jewish/non-Jewish relations. It considers the effects of legislative and socio-cultural exclusion on the self-definition of the dominant society and employs an interdisciplinary framework and brings together the work of scholars from both sides of the Atlantic and Israel, who work in history, theology, political philosophy, legal theory and literary studies.
