In twenty-first century America, antisemitism is coming from everywhere.
From members of government, from entertainers and celebrities, from the media, from social justice activists, from diverse religious leaders, in our universities, in our schools, on our streets, from the right, from the left, and even, in some instances, from Jews themselves.
America was the Golden Land, where Jews could escape centuries of persecution and finally be free. But recent events suggest not only that this dream has not been realized, but that things are moving in the opposite direction. Poisoning the Wells takes the pulse of contemporary antisemitism in America, examining its origins and recent developments, in groundbreaking essays by leading scholars on its many shapeshifting forms and media.
