Anti-Semite and Jew: An Exploration of the Etiology of Hate (Revised) by Jean-Paul Sartre

inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

So many poignant observations that still remain very true today, I would never ever expect a white man in the 1940s to be able to discuss the racial other this lucidly. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is that I feel like it in the end reduced racism too much down to its psychological dimension. It's true that Sartre describes the subjective experiences of the antisemitism extremely well, and I understand that he wants to remove all of the excuses for choosing to be racist, but I still think it lacks perspective on the material structures of raising antisemites.
