Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, & the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State by Cary Nelson (review)

Abstract

209 typically prerequisite to intellectual fashion, fleeting though it often proves to be. What we have here instead is foundational comparative labor that, while certainly not the first to place the literatures of the Soviet and Nazi camp systems in conversation with each other, is easily among the most effective and instructive in doing so. For many scholars already ensconced in the field of camp literature, this book may serve as a platform from which to reconsider stale assumptions and definitions. For a great many future scholars, it will be a launching pad.
