Opposing Hate Speech
Anthony Cortese

0-275-98427-3/978-0-275-98427-4

Description
Shows how hate speech in all its forms, whether on the street or in the media, can lead to hate crimes, and argues that the harm it can cause needs to be weighed against the competing value of freedom of expression.

Reviews:
-Cortese provides his readers with tools for talking back to speech that incites hatred or violence based on religion, race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Cortese sees prevention as a more effective technique than legal restrictions on hate speech; he outlines a rational basis for rejecting bigoted talk by focusing on equal treatment and equal protection under the law. His focus is on media sources--Web sites, film, television, radio, newspapers, magazines--as well as social movements, pride marches, and demonstrations that fight for minority rights and those that oppose them. He concludes by exploring what readers can do to counter and eliminate hate speech at the individual level. —Reference & Research Book News
-Employing critical race theory to structure his thesis, Cortese sketches a stage-developmental model of hate speech severity to make a case for the pervasiveness and perniciousness of hate speech in various institutional sectors of contemporary society....Recommended. General collections. —Choice
