Racial Discrimination and Ethnicity in European History
Halfdanarson G. (edited by)

Written by historians from fourteen different European countries, this volume deals with the unfortunately still current problem of racial or ethnic discrimination. It aims to provide the reader with a picture of not only the many forms discrimination has taken, from ancient times to the present day – a chapter is dedicated to the recent events of ex-Yugoslavia and another to the first anti-Jewish uprisings in Alexandria in Egypt in the first century A.D. – but also some cases where xenophobia has been avoided. One chapter in fact examines the reasons why Bulgarian Jews were generally protected from the horrors of Nazism.
