Successor and companion volume to "Words that Wound," the first
book to argue for recognition of hate speech as a serious social
problem. The current volume greatly expands the coverage of hate
speech, including chapters on children, the Internet, recent cases,
campus hate speech codes, and international responses. Deals
expressly with arguments against hate-speech regulation, as well as
the case for it.Written by leading critical race theorists Richard
Delgado and Jean Stefancic, this volume succinctly explores a host
of issues presented by hate speech, including legal theories for
regulating it, the harms it causes, and policy arguments pro and
con suppressing it. Chapters analyze hate speech on campus, the
history of hate speech in America, the careers of particular words
as "nigger," "spick," "wop," and "kike," hate speech against
whites, and the special case of children. Particular attention is
devoted to hate on the Internet, talk radio, and to the role of
white supremacist groups in disseminating it. Designed to be
accessible to the general public and students, this book features
reading lists, exercises, and questions for discussion. This book
accompanies and expands on the prize-winning volume "Words that
Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, and the First
Amendment," also published by Westview Press.
