Camila Bassi is a human geography academic whose principal research interests are the geographies of 'race', ethnicity and sexuality, and Marxist geographies. She has been a political activist on the British Left since 1996. Her blog, Anaemic On A Bike, contains a range of posts which synthesise her academic ideas with wider political currents.
'Through a forensic and detailed excavation, Bassi illustrates the
subtle and insidious ways antisemitic tropes, presumptions and
fallacies continue to creep into a wide range of academic arguments
and left-wing political policies. Singular in its willingness to
swim against the currents of so many contemporary political tides,
this is a substantive academic work that should stimulate academic
debate far beyond its immediate subject matter.'
*Dr Mitch Rose, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, Aberystwyth
University*
'Outcast makes an original and unusually valuable contribution to
the existing literature on contemporary Left antisemitism. This
compelling book, drawing as it does on direct experience as well as
on key scholarly work, provides a searching analysis which also
demonstrates some welcome hope of redemption.'
*Lesley Klaff, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Contemporary
Antisemitism*
