Publisher's Synopsis
As antisemitism rages yet again, it has become impossible to talk about it truthfully. Instead we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, accusation and bad faith. Picking apart our polarised politics, Rachel Shabi reveals the obscured and entangled histories of racism and antisemitism. She looks at questions of whiteness, Christian Zionism, pro-Israel antisemitism, the Palestinian struggle against colonialism and the untapped potential of the Left in coalition building. Off-White is an essential, nuanced analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time, demonstrating how this quagmire of confusion is often entirely by design. And how there might be a hopeful way forward for progressive politics.
