    Abstract: " In 1862, in the only instance of a Jewish expulsion in America, General Ulysses S. Grant banished Jewish citizens from the region under his military command. Although the order was quickly revoked by President Lincoln, it represented growing anti-Semitism in America. Convinced that assimilation was their best defense, Jews sought to Americanize by shedding distinctive dress, occupations, and religious rituals. American Jews recognized the benefit and urgency of bridging the divide between Reform and Orthodox Judaism to create a stronger alliance to face the challenges ahead. With Grant's 1868 presidential campaign, they also realized they could no longer remain aloof from partisan politics. As they became a growing influence in American politics, both political parties courted the new Jewish vote. Once in office, Grant took notice of the persecution of Jews in Romania and Russia, and he appointed more Jews to office than any president before him. Indeed, Simon Wolf, a Washington lawyer who became one of Grant's closest advisers, was part of a new generation of Jewish leaders to emerge in the post-Civil War era--thoroughly Americanized, politically mature, and committed to the modernized Judaism of the Reform movement"--

    Abstract: "Copublished with the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism, this study asks if the European Union (EU) has the capacity or the will to counter antisemitism. The desire to counter antisemitism was a significant impetus toward the formation of the EU in the twentieth century and now prejudice against Jews threatens to subvert that goal in the twenty-first. The European Union, Antisemitism, and the Politics of Denial offers an overview of the circumstances that obliged European political institutions to take action against antisemitism and considers the effectiveness of these interventions by considering two seemingly dissimilar EU states, Austria and Sweden. This examination of the European Union's strategy for countering antisemitism discloses escalating prejudice within the EU in the aftermath of 9/11. The author contends that Europe's political actors have responded to the challenge and provocation of antisemitism with only sporadic rhetoric and inconsistent commitment, a halfhearted strategy for countering antisemitism that exacerbates skepticism toward EU institutions and their commitments to equality and justice. This exposition of the insipid character of the EU's response simultaneously suggests alternatives that might mitigate the subtle and potentially devastating creep of antisemitism in Europe. This study offers a new approach insofar as scholarly considerations of the EU's attempts to combat racism rarely focus on antisemitism, while scholarship on antisemitism rarely considers the political context of the European Union.

    Abstract: Monika Urban untersucht aus diskurstheoretischer Perspektive die Entwicklung, Verwendung und Funktion abwertender Tier-Symbolisierungen und die sich hierbei verschiebenden Räume des Sagbaren. Sie rekonstruiert, wie eine sprachliche Dehumanisierung mit der jeweiligen sozialen Ordnung korrespondiert. In der Judenfeindschaft haben solche Tiersymbolisierungen eine lange Tradition: Während das klassische Motiv des mittelalterlichen Antijudaismus die Sau ist, die als unrein und dreckig gilt, dominieren im Nationalsozialismus Symbolisierungen der jüdischen Bevölkerung als Ungeziefer und Bakterien, die den ›Volkskörper‹ verzehren und zerSetzen. An diese Abwertungen werden Handlungsaufforderungen geknüpft und beispielsweise gefordert, ›Trichinen‹ nicht zu erziehen, sondern zu vernichten. Nach 1945 fallen die meisten pejorativen Tiersymbolisierungen in der öffentlichen Rede unter ein Tabu. Dennoch bleiben die Grenzen des Sagbaren fortan umkämpft: Vor allem in Wahlkämpfen wird über die Implikationen von Tiersymbolisierungen gestritten, auch wenn schlussendlich ihre Unsagbarkeit bestätigt wird. Erst Franz Münteferings Verwendung der ›Heuschrecke‹ öffnete im Jahr 2005 wieder die Schleusen und so gewinnt schließlich ein Insektensymbol im Rahmen diverser Krisen der Anti-Globalisierungsdebatte einen neuen Stellenwert.
