Annotation

This book explores Jewish and judaeophobic language concepts and conflicts between 1893 and 1933, focusing on German Jews’ attitudes to the German language. The examples involve public debates on language assessment, conducted in prominent Jewish journals around 1900. The book also investigates the particular linguistic, cultural and racial polemics of the contemporary agitation against the Jews.
