Stoke Newington Literary Festival — Strange Hate

Life-long anti-racists accused of antisemitism, life-long Jew haters declaring their love of Israel…antisemitism has become selective. And its not just antisemitism that is becoming selective, racists and anti-racists alike are starting to choose the minorities they love and hate.

Sociologist and writer Keith Kahn-Harris argues that the emergence of strange hatreds shows how far we are from understanding what living in diverse societies really means, and calls for us to abandon selective anti-racism and rethink how we view not just Jews and antisemitism, but the challenge of living with diversity.
