Contre l'antisémitisme : histoire d'une polemique

Presents two texts by Lazare, "Antisémitisme et révolution" and "Contre l'antisémitisme", first published in 1896 as a response to polemics surrounding his major opus, "L'antisémitisme, son histoire et ses causes" (1894). The responses are addressed to Drumont. Pp. 79-113 contain Charles Péguy's portrait of Lazare from 1910 and pp. 115-122 a text from 1938 by P.-V. Stock on Lazare and the Dreyfus Affair. Pp. 123-126 contain Lazare's will. In the introduction (pp. 7-16), Pierre Guillaume states that the two texts complement "L'antisémitisme, son histoire et ses causes", also reprinted by him in 1982, a decision harshly criticized in the French press. Mainly Jewish intellectuals argued that Lazare's later engagement for Dreyfus, his defense of Oriental Jews, and his Zionism proved that he had modified his views on the Jews as being partly responsible for the hostility directed at them. The book was published as part of this debate. Includes bibliographical references. 126 pages ; 22 cm
