Abstract

Taking Benzion Netanyahu’s The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain as the point of departure, this essay analyzes the relationship between the Spanish Inquisition and Jewish diaspora, between anti-semitism and racism. The author offers as a contemporary reading of this question, taking issue with Foucault’s notion of biopolitics, against Netanyahu’s conservative perspective.
