DESCRIPTION:Senator Schumer’s book tour events during the week of March 1
 7 are being postponed for security reasons.  We will work to reschedule th
 is event at a later date.\n\n \n\nIn an urgent and personal new book\, Sen
 ator Chuck Schumer sheds light on the Jewish American experience and sound
 s the alarm about the troubling resurgence of antisemitism. \n\n \n\nWhen 
 it comes to the history of the Jewish people\, there is a national and glo
 bal crisis of misunderstanding. This lack of knowledge feeds demons of ign
 orance\, hatred\, and violence.  Antisemitism in America: A Warning is an 
 urgent work of nonfiction that illuminates the Jewish experience and the p
 rejudices both hidden and overt that have led to the chronic persecution o
 f the Jewish people.  \n\n  \n\nBy placing antisemitism in its proper hist
 orical context\, and drawing from Senator Schumer’s own life\, the book 
 informs Americans’ understanding of the causes of the recent swell of an
 tisemitic rhetoric and violence in our country. In very personal terms\, i
 t will engage with debates over the purpose and meaning of Israel\, and he
 lp draw a line between legitimate criticism of its government and when cri
 ticism of Israel as a Jewish homeland verges into antisemitism. This book 
 is a warning\, informed by the lessons of history\, about what can happen 
 when the “world’s oldest hatred” is allowed to rise\, unchecked.\n\n

 st of WYPR's Midday. \n\n \n\nAbout the Author: \n\nChuck Schumer is the S
