Antisemitism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification [Paperback]

Since unification, Germany has experienced profound changes, including the reawakening of xenophobic hate crime, antisemitic incidents, and racist violence. This book presents the most recent research conducted by a team of American and German experts in political science, sociology, mass communication, and history. They analyze the degrees of antisemitism, xenophobia, remembrance, and Holocaust knowledge in German public opinion; the groups and organizations that propagate such prejudice and hate; and the German, American, and Jewish perceptions of, and reactions to, these phenomena.

Antisemitism and Xenphobia in Germany After Unificationis a valuable addition to the literature and can be recommended to scholars with a general interest in German politics after unification, as well as an accessible introductory text for graduate as well as undergraduate courses. Particularly for those not familiar with the vast German-language literature on the extreme right, it brings together a broad range of research results and offers a treasure of factual information. --American Journal of Sociology
