Description: This volume bravely explores the voice of rage - in the media, popular culture, political rhetoric, and in public and personal realms. In a candid view from multiple perspectives, Hate Speech discusses the ways in which hate is rationalized, invoked, expressed, and institutionalized. Critically and carefully, the authors examine some of the most provocative issues of our time - gay rights, abortion, affirmative action - and the ways they incite hatred and polarized positions.
