Safety Through Solidarity
A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism
By Shane Burley
Journalists Shane Burley and Ben Lorber present a sorely-needed progressive and intersectional approach to the vital question: What can we do about antisemitism?
From online trolling of Jews by the ‘alt-right’ to synagogue shootings by white nationalists to the spread of QAnon and George Soros conspiracy theories, antisemitism is a fixture of U.S. politics today. Its rise is part and parcel of growing exclusionary nationalist movements – putting multiracial democracy itself at risk.
At the same time, conversations about antisemitism are more polarized than ever.
- How is antisemitism connected to anti-Blackness, xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, and other forms of oppression?
- How do we build the coalitions and movements we need to fight it all together?
- Why is it important to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and antisemitism?
Using personal stories, historical deep-dives, front-line reporting, and interviews with leading change-makers, Lorber and Burley help the reader understand how antisemitism works, what’s at stake in contemporary debates, and how we can build true safety in solidarity.
