Aye Write Festival: Dave Rich

Antisemitism is supposed to have disappeared long ago, but despite our abhorrence of racism and oppression in all its forms, this ancient prejudice continues to thrive. At a time of economic, political, and social turmoil, fuelled by conspiracy theories on your smartphone or conflict in the Middle East, antisemitism is back, and we need to know why.

Blending personal anecdotes, contemporary examples and historical insights, Daniel Rich’s Everyday Hate takes you on a journey through the contentious and often confusing subject of Antisemitism. Spanning Shakespeare to South Park, Israel to Covid-19 and ancient stereotypes to internet memes, it reveals surprising truths about how antisemitism continues to thrive in the interactions, assumptions, and views of decent people around the world – and how we can change this for the better.
