Images of Malice : Visual Representations of Anti-Judaism and Antisemitism in the Bohemian Lands, Paperback / softback Book

Images of Malice : Visual Representations of Anti-Judaism and Antisemitism in the Bohemian Lands Paperback / softback

Edited by Eva Janacova

Paperback / softback

Description

Traces the history of visual representations of anti-Jewish hatred in Czech Bohemia.   The vicious scourges of religion-based anti-Judaism and ethnically-rooted anti-Semitism are tragically deep-seated aspects of Czech Bohemian history.

Images of Malice—copublished with Artefactum—examines visual instances from the well-known low points of historic Bohemian anti-Semitic resentment, while also recasting common views of eras not typically associated with rises in virulent anti-Jewish sentiment.

This mapping of the visual signs of anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism is also an account of their broader meaning, as the processes of stereotyping, delegitimization, dehumanization, and exclusion from society represent a more dire and universal problem.

As Images of Malice makes bracingly clear, the danger of anti-Jewish visuals is still an urgent problem today, in Europe and beyond.
