Discover how an alleged progressive and democratic Israel sustains a violent project of dispossession and discrimination. Despite well-documented evidence of racism and human rights abuses, Israel has long been embraced by the most liberal sectors of society for its ideals of tolerance and inclusivity. However, Tolerance Is a Wasteland argues that this is achieved through a specific form of denial, negating the Palestinian presence in Palestine in such a way that the act of denial is itself denied. Author Saree Makdisi explores this through various examples, including the haunted landscape of depopulated Palestinian villages, the theater of "pinkwashing," and the controversial Museum of Tolerance. Discover the system of emotional investments and perceptions that makes this cognitive dissonance possible.

An eminent historian takes us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, tracing the invention of the idea of race and the worship of whiteness for economic, social, scientific, and political ends. The concept of race did not exist in Greek and Roman antiquity, only geography and the opportunity to conquer and enslave others. Obsession with whiteness flourished in the eighteenth century with the German invention of the notion of Caucasian beauty. Spread by intellectuals such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, white race theory reached North America with a vengeance, excluding blacks and all ethnic groups not of Protestant, northern European background. This book forces us to confront our notions of race and the history behind them.
