Contributors: Schucman, Lia Vainer (editor); Benedykt, Breno (editor); Kon, Sergio (presented by). Resumo (em português): O livro se estrutura em cinco blocos de discussão correlacionados, com seus tà picos se entrelaçando em camadas num todo diverso e heterogêneo. No primeiro bloco, os autores partem de um plano geral e Ãntimo ao mesmo tempo, como agentes e expectadores de uma histà ria que se desenrola no hoje, pondo a comunidade brasileira em perspectiva e analisando o conflito no Oriente Mà dio a partir dos grandes movimentos das populações judias e palestinas. O segundo bloco traz o plano psÃquico da análise da subjetividade das forças em ação. No terceiro, a intimidade toma o primeiro plano, por meio do desejo de convivência e convergência. No quarto bloco, o conflito e suas consequências são abordados filosà fica e politicamente, com foco na questão dos fascismos e das dominações. No quinto, por fim, se discute o recrudescimento do antissemitismo e suas várias formas de manifestação e o fenà meno do antissionismo.…
