Expressions of hate are an almost daily feature of the evening
news, from the mayhem unleashed by suicide bombers in Israel to the
unimaginable destruction of the Twin Towers. And since September
11, Americans have repeatedly asked themselves, "Why do they hate
us?" In this in-depth look at the most troubling aspect of human
nature, a prominent, nationally recognized criminologist, who is a
leader in his field, and a respected sociologist seek to explain
why hate exists and offer practical methods for creating a more
peaceable society.
Are we born with a propensity to hate, or is it something we learn?
Does educating people necessarily reduce hate? Looking at
biological, psychological, and cultural factors, Drs. Levin and
Rabrenovic investigate the evidence for hate as an inborn trait, as
learned behavior, and as a reaction to envy, frustration, or the
need for belonging, control, and authority.
These highly regarded authors will reveal their new original
findings on hate among Americans as well as the media's role in
contributing to hate. They will also consider the phenomena of
anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism before and after September 11,
in addition to anti-Muslim sentiments in the wake of the Twin
Towers attack. Also discussed are domestic terrorism and "organized
hate" in the form of white supremacist and civilian militia groups.
Finally, in surveying the many trouble spots around the world where
hate is manifest, they describe a series of inspiring situations
that show surprising cooperation between ethnic groups who have
transcended hate, and the authors explain how they achieved
it.
Both enlightening and insightful, this momentous and timely work
offers hope that civilized human beings can come to grips with an
age-old problem.
