POLT 241 - Antisemitism & White Supremacy


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

From “White Lives Matter” to “Jews will not replace us,” America has recently witnessed a resurgence of white supremacist and antisemitic political activity under the rubric of “white nationalism.” This course offers a U.S.-focused, comparative exploration of anti-Jewish and white supremacist ideology and politics. It examines their shared roots in European Christian societies; the different ways they were transposed to North America through conquest, colonization, and slavery; and their subsequent evolutions, intersections, and organized manifestations.

Enrollment Limit: 35
Instructor: M. Berkman
