The study of modern racism has tended to treat anti-Semitism and anti-black racism as separate and unconnected phenomena.

This study argues that a full understanding of the origins and development of racism in Europe after 1870 needs to examine the structure and inter-relationships between the two dominant forms of prejudice.

The "crisi s of modernity" found expression in a deepening political racism which was formulated, according to national contexts, through negative stereotypes of the black and the Jew which were structured in quite different ways.
