You Gentiles
1924 book by Maurice Samuel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Gentiles is a 1924 book written by Romanian-born British and American-Jewish author Maurice Samuel. The book has been controversial for its portrayal of Jews and Gentiles as fundamentally distinct and at times incompatible civilizations. Samuel’s depiction of enduring cultural and psychological differences between the two groups has been described by some critics as implying a form of Jewish cultural superiority or civilizational separatism.
