ebooks A Journey for the Ages: Matthew Henson and Robert Peary’s Historic North Pole Expedition by Matthew A. Henson in History

Description

Between 2006 and 2011; the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) established and sponsored the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism (YIISA); the first academic research center dedicated to the study of antisemitism based at a North American university. During its mandate; YIISA hosted a successful graduate and post-graduate fellowship program; research projects; and a high-level interdisciplinary seminar series at Yale University. The present volume - The Yale Papers: Antisemitism in Comparative Perspective - includes a selection of the papers presented in the framework of this seminar series; as well as several other working papers; conference papers; and lectures commissioned by or submitted to YIISA by eminent scholars and researchers from around the world. In addition to providing a fascinating overview and scholarly analysis of some of the many facets of historical and contemporary antisemitism around the globe; this volume stands as a solid and incontrovertible testament to the abundant - and; above all; productive - academic activity that characterized YIISA’s truncated tenure at Yale University.Table of contents:Introduction; Charles Asher Small; Anti-Israel Sentiment Predicts Antisemitism in Europe; Edward H.
