  One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Antisemitic Discourse focuses on the ideology that motivated it and the antisemitism that shaped many responses to it. 
  It examines the provenance of the Jew-hatred, from English history to Palestinian Islamism; from toxic 19th century ‘Jewish Question’ rhetoric to the perversion of the Trotskyist tradition that allowed parts of the left to embrace antisemitism. It includes Howard Jacobson’s lecture of 22 October on antisemitism and it focuses on what was significant about this attack. There is discussion from Britain, Germany, Poland, and Norway, and a linguistic account of responses. 
  This work will appeal to scholars, students and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.

  Breaking the Gender Code - Women...

  From the closing years of the nineteenth century, women received subtle—and not so subtle—messages that they shouldn't be in public. Or, if they were, that they were not safe. Breaking the Gender Code tells the story of both this danger narrative and the resistance to it. 
   
   
   
  Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts. In doing so, Hickey explores how gender segregation intertwined with other systems of social control, as well as how class, race, and sexuality shaped activists' agendas and women's experiences of urban space. Drawing connections between the vulnerability of women in public spaces, real and presumed, and contemporary debates surrounding rape culture, bathroom bills, and domestic violence, Hickey unveils both the strikingly successful and the incomplete initiatives of activists who worked to open up public space to women.

  The Age of the Great...

  "The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" is not a book for the faint of heart—it's a fearless cultural autopsy. Through biting truth, unapologetic critique, and disturbingly honest analysis, this book explores the modern woman's journey from sexual liberation to spiritual monetization. From Instagram repentance to OnlyFans conversions, from porn star to prophetess, we are witnessing the rise of women who trade lingerie for long skirts—only to wear faith like a brand. 
  This is the brutal tale of performative repentance, where religious imagery replaces erotic content, and "modesty" is sold with the same thirst as sin once was. But more than that, it's a lament for the forgotten faithful—the pure, the disciplined, the unseen women who are ignored while the reformed are rewarded. This book investigates how masculinity must be earned, while femininity is merely reclaimed, repackaged, and sold again. 
  Part social critique, part psychological profile, part spiritual warning—this book dives into:The cultural commodification of redemptionThe new market of religious influencersThe silence of true repentance versus the noise of rebrandingWhy real love, trust, and femininity are disintegratingWhat happens when shame becomes strategy 
  If you've ever asked why the world celebrates the fallen who rise with followers, but never honors the ones who never fell—this is your book. 
  Darkly humorous, dead serious, and disturbingly true—"The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" holds up a mirror. Whether you see repentance, rebranding, or both is up to you.
