The focus of this essay is on Bernard Lazare as one of the first authors to speak of antisemitism as a movement that, despite the emancipatory laws, was seriously spreading not only in France, but also in other European countries and in North Africa, especially Algeria. The aim of this article is to focus the attention on the role of Lazare as the first Jewish intellectual who was aware of the danger for the Jews, and studied the phenomenon to understand it and contain it. The stress is on the origin and development of the analysis of the issue in young Lazare, to provide a clear indication of how the author himself still needed time to deal with some of the features that antisemitism was assuming, especially outside France. |
