Off-White

An essential guide to figuring out what went wrong

A meticulous investigation into the many faces of contemporary antisemitism.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From Diane Abbott’s recent letter in the Observer, to Whoopi Goldberg’s assertion that the Holocaust wasn’t about race, it still seems that no one can agree on what antisemitism actually is. Is it racism? Religious persecution? Prejudice?

More questions swiftly arise: Aren’t Jews white? Is the Labour Party antisemitic? What’s the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism?

Picking apart these claims and counterclaims, Rachel Shabi provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary antisemitism in Off-White. Reflecting on its various and nebulous forms, Shabi demonstrates how this quagmire of confusions, conspiracies, and misinformation is by design. And how there might be a hopeful way forward for progressive politics.
