A Rumor about the Jews: Conspiracy, Anti-Semitism, and the Protocols of Zion

Description: In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery, the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking, often being twisted to suit its handlers' purposes, and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. In A Rumor About the Jews, Stephen Eric Bronner provides a history of this notorious fabrication-one which has renewed salience in a "post truth" society dominated by "fake news"-and explores its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. This new edition of Bronner's 2000 classic (described by Kirkus as "the best short book on anti-Semitism") expands the arguments of the first edition, bringing the work up to date in a new political context. Stephen Eric Bronner is Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Director of Global Relations at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights (CGHR), and on Executive Committee of the UNESCO Chair for Genocide Prevention at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA Acknowledgments Preface for the Second Edition Preface for the First Paperback Edition Chapter 1- Introduction Chapter 2- Antisemitism for Popular Consumption: Selections from the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion Chapter 3- The Text in Context: The Protocols and the Varieties of Antisemitism Chapter 4- The Tale of a Forgery: Inventing the Protocols Chapter 5- Spreading the News: The Protocols Triumphant Chapter 6- Intermezzo: American Populism and the Jews Chapter 7- The Legacy of a Lie: Contemporary Antisemitism and Its Future Appendix- Rumors and Reflections: A Reply to Ian Markham Notes Index
