JEWISHST 271: German Antisemitism and German Colonialism (GERMAN 271)
German antisemitism - German colonialism. Only slowly, helped by the Allied occupation, student revolts and belated acceptance of the holocaust, German society became aware over the course of the 1960s and 1970s of the dimensions of German antisemitism. Helped by the belated acceptance of post- and de-colonial theory and debates around the restitution of human remains and Benin Bronzes, German society is now becoming aware of the dimensions of German colonialism. Unfortunately, this acceptance has not helped the debate - rather German debates, without regard to the older right/left division, have created antagonism between those who condemn signs of islamophobia on the one hand, and those condemning antisemitism on the other: a dangerous situation that produces much collateral damage (such as right-wing views holding migrants account able for homemade antisemitism).
