Outcast: How Jews Were Banished From the Anti-Racist Imagination by Camila Bassi

Description: Outcast by Camila Bassi A fascinating exploration and explanation of how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has impacted our ability to recognise anti-Jewish racism. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Outcast is an exploration - and explanation - of how the very possibility of recognising anti-Jewish racism has been displaced by the commonplace leftist belief that when Jewish people cry antisemitism! their true intent is to cover up the real racism propagated by Israel against the Palestinians. This has come about through the academic notion that racism is a colonial phenomenon of white over black domination, as well as the antisemitic idea of the Jewish question: that something must be done about the harm Jews pose to humanity. Outcast shows that when both are translated into an understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Zionism and all associated Jews become the representation of racism incarnate, demanding the unprecedented wipe-out of Israel. As a route forward, Camila Bassi offers an analysis of the conflict through the wider historical context of European antisemitism, colonialism and nationalism, and free from the Jewish question. Escaping the confines of identity politics, including racial identity politics, based on the idea that there are intrinsic differences dividing and excluding humanity, Outcast makes the case for a genuinely universal politics of human liberation. Author Biography Camila Bassi is a human geography academic whose principal research interests are the geographies of race, ethnicity and sexuality, and Marxist geographies. She has been a political activist on the British Left since 1996. Her blog, Anaemic On A Bike, contains a range of posts which synthesise her academic ideas with wider political currents. Review Through a forensic and detailed excavation, Bassi illustrates the subtle and insidious ways antisemitic tropes, presumptions and fallacies continue to creep into a wide range of academic arguments and left-wing political policies. Singular in its willingness to swim against the currents of so many contemporary political tides, this is a substantive academic work that should stimulate academic debate far beyond its immediate subject matter. -- Dr Mitch Rose, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, Aberystwyth UniversityOutcast makes an original and unusually valuable contribution to the existing literature on contemporary Left antisemitism. This compelling book, drawing as it does on direct experience as well as on key scholarly work, provides a searching analysis which also demonstrates some welcome hope of redemption. -- Lesley Klaff, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism Details ISBN191503678X Author Camila Bassi Publisher Whitefox Publishing Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-10 191503678X ISBN-13 9781915036780 Publication Date 2023-06-15 UK Release Date 2023-06-15 Format Paperback Imprint No Pasaran Media Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-06-15 NZ Release Date 2023-06-15 DEWEY 305.8924 Audience General Pages 198 Subtitle How Jews Were Banished From the Anti-Racist Imagination We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
