“The Uses of anti-Semitism in Chávez’s Venezuela”

Anti-Jewish hostilities in Venezuela have been widely reported, but the article “United By Hate: The uses of anti-Semitism in Chávez’s Venezuela” shows the function of antisemitism in the legitimation struggle of Chavez and his regime, painting real and imagined opposition as Jewish and anti-national. The article also analyzes the language of machismo and homophobia in relation to nationalism, antisemitism and power. Absolutely worth a read!
