[1] Reviewing the collection, Paul de Rooij notes that "perhaps the greatest value of this book" is its variety of perspectives on "knowing what issues are sensitive, and why.

"[2] One essay, by one of the book's editors, Alexander Cockburn, "My Life As an 'Antisemite,'" was written in response to the "accusation of antisemitism" by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.

[3] Dershowitz characterizes Cockburn's claims in the essay as ad hominem attacks against Joan Peters, author of the book From Time Immemorial.
