Off-White

<strong>Why can't we talk about antisemitism?</strong>

<strong>'I cannot wait for <em>Off-White</em> to be read, debated and put into practice.' Naomi Klein, author of <em>Doppelganger</em></strong>

As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations.

There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, <em>Off-White</em> offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.
