The United States has a hate problem. In recent years, hate speech
has led not only to deep division in our politics but also to
violence, murder, and even insurrection. And yet established
constitutional jurisprudence holds that all speech is protected as
"content neutral" and that the proper democratic response to
hateful expression is not regulation but "more speech." So how can
ordinary citizens stand up to hate groups when the state will not?
In Combating Hate, Billie Murray proposes an answer to this
question. As a participant in anti-racist and anti-fascist
protests, including demonstrations against the Ku Klux Klan,
neo-Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church, Murray witnessed
firsthand the limitations of the "more speech" approach as well as
the combative tactics of anti-fascist activists. She argues that
this latter group, commonly known as antifa, embodies a radically
different strategy for combating hate, one that explodes the myth
of content neutrality and reveals hate speech to be a tactic of
fascist organizing with very real, highly anti-democratic
consequences. Drawing on communication theory and this
on-the-ground experience, Murray presents a new strategy, which she
calls "allied tactics," rooted in the commitment to affirm,
support, and even protect those who are the victims of hate speech.
Engaging and sophisticated, Combating Hate contends that there are
concrete ways to fight hate speech from the front lines. Murray's
urgent argument that we reconsider how to confront and fight this
blight on American life is essential reading for the current era.
