The series also will feature a virtual launch of Hybrid Hate: Conflations of Anti-Black Racism and Anti-Semitism from the Renaissance to the Third Reich, written by Tudor Parfitt - professor with the Department of Religious Studies at FIU’s Steven J. Inevitably, the lecture surveys the different waves of Aliya (immigration) of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Hybrid Hate is the first book to study the conflation of antisemitism and anti-Black racism. As objects of racism, Jews and Blacks have been linked together for centuries as peoples apart from the general run of humanity. In this book, Parfitt investigates the development of anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, and race theory in the West from the Renaissance to the Second World War.
