Book Review: “Emancipace od židů”: Český antisemitismus na konci 19. století [“Emancipation from the Jews”: Czech Antisemitism at the End of the Ninet

Summary/Abstract: In the historiography of modern antisemitism, the Bohemian lands in general – and Czech political culture in particular – have been the beneficiaries of various kinds of ‘exceptionalism’. According to one version of Czech uniqueness, Bohemia and Moravia never developed a home-grown, racial antisemitism, which would have contradicted the liberal tendencies of Czech nationalism; rather, the anti-Jewish ideologies that did find expression in the lands of Hus had to be ‘imported’ from Imperial (and, later, Nazi) Germany, Vienna, or other, more benighted, parts of East Central Europe.
