Caitlin Ring Carlson, "Hate Speech" (MIT Press, 2021)
Hate speech can happen anywhere -\xa0in Charlottesville, Virginia, where young men in khakis shouted, "Jews will not replace us"; in Myanmar, where the military used Facebook to target the Muslim Rohingya; in Cape Town, South Africa, where a pastor called on ISIS to rid South Africa of the "homosexual curse." In person or online, people wield language to attack others for their race, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or other aspects of identity. Caitlin Ring Carlson's\xa0Hate Speech\xa0(MIT Press, 2021)\xa0examines hate speech: what it is, and is not; its history; and efforts to address it.\nMarci Mazzarotto\xa0is an Assistant Professor of Digital Communication at Georgian Court University in New Jersey.
