Description

Why can’t we talk about antisemitism?

‘I am so grateful to Rachel Shabi for this supple, generous and original investigation into the uses and abuses of antisemitism… I cannot wait for Off-White to be read, debated and put into practice.’ Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger

As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations.

There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.
