The Long Shadow: Human History of Prejudice and Antisemitism

Explore the dark and persistent history of prejudice and antisemitism through the ages. From the pogroms of the Middle Ages, to the horrors of the Holocaust, to the rise of contemporary hate, uncover the enduring legacy of intolerance and persecution.In The Long Shadow, Andrew DeCarlo exposes the anatomy of human division, proving that systemic bias is deeply woven into our evolutionary psychology and global history. This sweeping narrative traces how ancient tribalism laid the foundation for modern prejudice, tracking the rise of institutionalized racism, global caste systems, and centuries of systemic Jewish hatred. Beyond historical atrocities, DeCarlo examines how modern social stratification and 21st-century digital polarization continue to supercharge xenophobia today. The Long Shadow is an urgent mirror for the present. By understanding the ideological and psychological mechanisms of bias, we can finally learn how to dismantle them.
