On Jews and Antisemitism

BuchKartoniert, Paperback
304 Seiten
Englisch
Comino-Verlagerschienen am28.11.2022
George Orwell´s relationship to Jews has been a recurring topic in various essays and articles. Texts with an antisemitic slant, as well as texts with a determined rejection of antisemitism, from different periods of his career, are quoted. However, this does not allow for a reliable overall picture because often only well-known passages appear while Orwell´s contradictory, less well-known statements are overlooked or simply ignored. This comprehensive and extensively annotated compilation of texts by Orwell, an author who is respected and admired for always defending human rights without restraint, regardless of who exercised power, is intended to give an idea of what he actually wrote on Jews and antisemitism and how it was discussed. It covers his fictional and non-fictional writing from his early works on and presents the obvious antisemitic streak at the beginning, the war-time publications denouncing the atrocities against Jews by Germans, his 1945 essay Anti-Semitism in Britain , his experiences as a war reporter in Germany when he was confronted with Jews who had survived and defeated Germans, and his comments about the increasing conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine under the British Mandate. The chronological order of this compilation facilitates following Orwell´s evolving attitudes to Jews and antisemitism.mehr

KlappentextGeorge Orwell´s relationship to Jews has been a recurring topic in various essays and articles.

ZusatztextDass Orwell [...] ein Problem mit Juden hatte, ist bekannt. [Es] ist schon verschiedentlich darüber diskutiert worden. Jetzt erhalten alle Interessierten endlich die Gelegenheit, in einer Gesamtschau aller einschlägigen Textstellen aus seinem umfangreichen und publizistisch breit gestreuten Werk die Grundlage solcher Diskussionen selbst zu sichten. [...]Doch der aktuelle Band ist nicht bloß biographisch von Belang. Er zeigt vielmehr gefährliche Verschränkungen, Verquerungen und Widersprüche, die sich auch in unserer Zeit - man denke nur an die Debatten über Mbembe oder Ruangrupa - zwischen antikolonialen, antizionistischen und antisemitischen Diskursen auftun können. Man liest ihn daher echt gebannt, wie Winston Smith dem Hassfilm folgt, "a painful mixture of emotions".
Tobias Döring , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Im Berliner Kleinverlag Comino hat der Herausgeber Paul Seeliger umfassendes Material aus Orwells sämtlichen Werken aufbereitet und sorgfältig annotiert, damit die Debatte über einen möglichen Antisemitismus des Autors nuanciert fortgeführt werden kann. [...] Orwells Einstellung zu Juden und Antisemitismus war ambivalent. [...] Dass die Belege für diese Ambivalenz nun sorgfältig zusammengestellt sind, kann man aus wissenschaftlicher und aus politischer Sicht nur begrüßen.
Niklas Elsenbruch , Süddeutsche Zeitung
