**⭐️⭐️⭐️ | An Ambitious but Uneven Guide**

*Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism* by Shane Burley and Ben Lorber presents a bold and ambitious approach to combating antisemitism through solidarity and radical activism. The book offers valuable perspectives on how diverse movements can unite to address antisemitic issues. However, the execution can be uneven, with some strategies feeling underexplored and the theoretical framework sometimes overshadowing practical advice. While the book’s intentions are strong and its insights important, it may not fully meet the needs of readers looking for more concrete and actionable steps. Overall, it’s a thought-provoking read that contributes to the ongoing dialogue on fighting discrimination.

I received a free ebook from Netgalley in exchange for fair and an unbiased review. I am a liberal Jew. This was the first book I read on antisemitism. I liked that the book came from a lense similar to mine (liberal Jew who supports both Israeli's and Palestinian's).

I learned a lot from this book. I knew a little bit about the replacement theory. I didn't know a lot about the history of antisemitism ( except the holocaust).

It took me longer to read this book than most books. This book is very detailed. It reminded me of an academic book. It could be used in a Jewish studies class. I was so interested in the book in the book in the beginning. I lost interest in the middle but I gained interest in the book near the last 25 percent of the book.

I have never heard of any book like this one. It breaks down right and left Judaism. It breaks down liberal and right wing society. It really makes you think.

This was a difficult read for me. The chapters aren't too long. Every chapter is broken down with subsections. It is such an important read for everyone.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read this important book. Thank you for allowing me to look at antisemitism in a different light. Thank you for educating me on so many important matters.

Debates around antisemitism have become more polarized and high-stakes than ever. In this well-researched book, two activist journalists present a progressive, intersectional approach to the vital question: What can we do about antisemitism? The book starts with an introduction to what antisemitism is, the history of it, and then moves into what antisemitism looks like today. This is a very timely publication given the recent rise in antisemitism since the outbreak of war in Gaza.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

“Safety through Solidarity” is a groundbreaking work that educates and inspires action. This book speaks to not only the Jewish community but to anyone committed to dismantling the politics of division and fear.
