Publisher Synopsis
"A political psychologist, Falk takes a multi-disciplinary approach to anti-semitism and ethnic hatred, explaining it as deeply influenced by insights into the irrational in history and contemporary life. On both the individual and collective levels, the author uses psycho-historical insights to explain how societies under stress resort to scapegoating groups in what comes very close to a tribal response to perceived and imagined threats....The bibliography is excellent. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals." - Choice Read more...
