Unadorned

"Unadorned: Conversations on Antisemitism" is a mosaic of interviews, essays, and forewords that refuses a single thesis in favor of disciplined, plural debate. The preface frames a live argument over definitions IHRA's policy utility versus JDA/Nexus's scholarly appeal and asks whether antisemitism is best fixed in text or worked out in conversation.

The collection's spine is breadth: historians, lawyers, clinicians, rabbis, and policy thinkers probe right- and left-wing variants, campus dynamics, clinical decolonization, algorithmic amplification, and democratic backsliding across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Ukraine.

Across chapters on populism, law, mental health, media systems, and communal resilience, the throughline is moral clarity without simplification. The book's wager is that sustained, cross-disciplinary inquiry is itself protective: a civic immune response that resists conspiracy, euphemism, and performative outrage so that Jews can live publicly and safely and so truth can hold.
