The contributors to this volume consider whether it is possible to
establish carefully tailored hate speech policies that are
cognizant of the varying traditions, histories, and values of
different countries. Throughout, there is a strong comparative
emphasis, with examples (and authors) drawn from around the world.
All the authors explore whether or when different cultural and
historical settings justify different substantive rules given that
such cultural relativism can be used to justify content-based
restrictions and so endanger freedom of expression. Essays address
the following questions, among others: Is hate speech in fact so
dangerous or harmful to vulnerable minorities or communities as to
justify a lower standard of constitutional protection? What harms
and benefits accrue from laws that criminalize hate speech in
particular contexts? Are there circumstances in which everyone
would agree that hate speech should be criminally punished? What
lessons can be learned from international case law?
