At the close of the 20th century the stereotyping and demonization of "others", whether on religious, nationalist, racist or political grounds, has become a burning issue. Yet comparatively little attention has been paid to how and why we fabricate images of the "other" as an enemy or "demon" to be destroyed. This volume seeks to fill that gap through an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural approach that brings together historians, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, literary critics, and feminists. The historical sweep covers Greco-Roman antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Modern Era. Antisemitism receives special attention because of its longevity and centrality to the Holocaust, but it is analyzed here within the much broader framework of racism and xenophobia. The plurality of viewpoints expressed provide some insights into what is common and what is unique to the many varieties of prejudice, stereotyping, demonization and hatred.
