This book critically examines the development of the 'stirring up
hatred' offences which are currently found within the UK's Public
Order Act 1986. Through a critical discourse analysis of key
excerpts of parliamentary Hansard, the book constructs a detailed
genealogy of the offences from the perspectives that shaped them. A
novel application of theory on 'myth' is used to navigate the
complex arguments and to trace ideas about identity and order
across parliamentary debates, from fears of Fascism in the 1930s to
condemnations of homophobia in the early 21st century. The story of
the stirring up hatred offences told in this book therefore extends
far beyond the traditional frame of a dilemma between regulating
hate speech and safeguarding free speech: it is inextricably
entwined with myths about law, race and national identity, and
speaks to wider themes of coloniality, neoliberalism, white
entitlement, British-Christian exceptionalism and the innocence of
law. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this book
challenges a wide range of assumptions about hate speech law and
raises a series of considerations for developing forms of
accountability that are less complicit in the harms that they are
supposed to redress.
