Fascists, Fabricators and Fantasists: Anti-Semitism in South Africa from 1948 to the Present
R320.00
In the third volume of Milton Shain’s history of antisemitism in South Africa, he traces and unpacks hostile attitudes towards Jews and irrational fantasies that accompany them in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa.
“This is a very fine book. […] Written fluently with wit and wisdom throughout, Milton Shain concludes his definitive study of the complex beast that is South African antisemitism.”— Professor Tony Kushner, James Parkes Professor of Jewish/Non-Jewish Relations, University of Southampton.
“A brilliant, well-written, well-documented, and often prescient study of the past as shaping our NOW.”— Professor Sander L. Gilman, author of “I know who caused COVID-19”: Xenophobia and Pandemics
“Superbly researched and elegantly written, this book shines a light on the commonalities between reactionary white right-wingers and self-styled progressive leftists in their depiction, at different historical junctures, of Jews.”— Dr Michael Cardo, MP
“Milton Shain is generally regarded today in South Africa and abroad as the doyen of South African Jewish history, and this for very good reason, both for the quality of his scholarship and his ability to communicate it in a lively and accessible way.”— Professor Richard Mendelsohn, Emeritus Professor of Historical Studies, University of cape Town.
