From two New York Times bestselling authors, a timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into antisemitism that connects the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current complicated moment.
As Acho says, Proximity breeds care and distance breeds fear..
It is a much-needed lexicon for this fraught moment in Jewish history.
This book will enable anyone to explain--and identify--what Jewish hatred looks like.
Informative and accessible, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew has a unique structure: Acho asks questions and Tishby answers them with deeply personal, historical, and political responses.
Acho and Tishby are united by the core belief that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire.
But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment--and then see around corners.
Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor.
Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American.
The topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives.
Emmanuel asks, Did Jews kill Jesus? To which Noa responds, Why are Jewish people history\'s favorite scapegoat? They unpack Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? And: Are you antisemitic if you\'re anti-Zionist? The questions--and answers--might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes, stereotypes, and catalysts of antisemitism in America today.
The Black and Jewish struggle.
Jews and white privilege.
Jews and privilege.
Jews and power.
They cover Jews and money.
They go there.
For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits.
