Extracto

"Anti-Semite and Jew, in its best passages, stands with Theodor Adorno's study of the authoritarian personality, Talcott Parson's essays on the sociology of Nazism, Erich Fromm's Escape from Freedom,and Hannah Arendt's account of totalitarian politics . . . [Nonetheless] Sartrean authenticity has taken on new meanings, a sign simultaneously that his argument is persuasive and that it is in need of revision."
—From the Preface by Michael Walzer
