Title: Not a very good book
Product review: Beware of academics praising each other's work. This is a dull summary of "white supremacy" and "antisemitism." The author, while posing as a clinically disinterested party, lets us know how awful he thinks both of these things are.He DOES say that "racism exists when one ethnic group or historical collectivity dominates, excludes, or seeks to eliminate another on the basis of differences that it believes are hereditary and unalterable."This should comfort those who, for example, deplore the conditions in American inner cities, and attribute those conditions to the moral and cultural state of the residents of those cities. While some would call these people "racists," the definition shows that they are not -- unless, of course, those moral and cultural states are believed to be hereditary and unalterable.
