Before the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan night club, and others made international headlines, Marc Weitzmann had noticed a surge of seemingly random acts of violence against the Jews of France. His disturbing and eye-opening new book, \u003cem\u003eHate\u003c\/em\u003e, proposes that both the small-scale and large-scale acts of violence have their roots in not one, but two very specific forms of populism: an extreme and violent ethos of hate spread among the Muslim post-colonial suburban developments on the one hand, and the deeply-rooted French ultra-conservatism of the far right. Weitzmann’s shrewd on-the-ground reporting is woven throughout with the history surrounding the legacies of the French Revolution, the Holocaust, and Gaulist “Arab-French policy.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHate\u003c\/em\u003e is a chilling and important account that shows how the rebirth of French Anti-Semitism relates to the new global terror wave, revealing France to be a veritable localized laboratory for a global phenomenon. | \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e Editors' Choice  A Finalist for the American Library in Paris Book Award   A Publishers Marketplace Buzz Book\u003c\/strong\u003e   “[An] \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent and chilling \u003c\/strong\u003ereport-cum-memoir about one of the most unsettling phenomena in contemporary Europe.”  —\u003cstrong\u003eJames Kirchick, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW\u003c\/strong\u003eall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"Weitzmann’s excellent book is a stellar focus upon the major influences producing an increase in anti-Semitism in France during the past 30 years.
