Anti-Semite and Jew: An Exploration of the Etiology of Hate (Revised) by Jean-Paul Sartre

3.0

I don't know how to feel, how does Sartre talk so eloquently about antisemitism and it's mechanisms and why they are harmful and then proceed to perpetuate it every time he talks about a Jew? It's like he didn't read the first half of his own essay? This book is the equivalent of academic whiplash. To be fair the preface warns you what Sartre is about to do (one of those stars is for the preface which is brilliant) but it's still awfully and deliciously ironic that Sartre himself becomes (unintentionally through his own ignorance) an anti-Semite.This essay is just one example of why sensitivity readers are important.
