Is hate learned? -- Is it useful to label and monitor hate groups? -- Is extremist expression dangerous in itself? -- Should hate groups and hate speech be illegal?
Summary:
"Hate groups undeniably have a negative connotation, but through examining the issues related to hate groups-how they are defined, who gets to label certain groups as hate groups, the legal standing of these groups, and what can be done to stop them-it becomes clear that the topic is much more complicated than it may initially appear. This volume examines these questions among various others through a wide range of perspectives, helping readers better understand this commonly oversimplified and controversial issue."
