THE COMMUNICATION OF HATE - JOHN HAAS MICHAEL W...

The book was awarded the 2011 NCA Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in
Freedom of Expression. This book sets out to explore how hate comes alive in language and
actions by examining the nature and persuasive functions of hate in American society. Hate
speech may be used for many purposes and have different intended consequences. It may be
directed to intimidate an out-group  or to influence the behavior of in-group members. But how
does this language function? What does it accomplish? The answers to these questions are
addressed by an examination of the communicative messages produced by those with hateful minds.
Beginning with an examination of the organized hate movement  the book provides a critique of
racist discourse used to recruit and socialize new members  construct enemies  promote valued
identities  and encourage ethnoviolence. The book also examines the strategic manipulation of
hatred in our everyday lives by politicians  political operatives and media personalities.
Providing a comprehensive overview of hate speech  the book ends by describing the desirable
features of an anti-hate discourse that promotes respect for social differences.
