Description
While much has been written about hate groups and extreme right political movements, this book will be the first that addresses the crucial role that place and context play in generating and shaping them. Ranging across geographical scales the essays start with the home, and then move from the local to the regional, to the national to-finally-the global. In this collection, much of the focus is on the U.S., as the contributors consider a variety of hate activity and hate groups across the country, including; rural white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements; anti-black sentiment directed towards cities; anti-gay activity in cities and rural areas and the resurgent Southern nationalist movement. Closing with pieces from those who combat hate activity, the intention of Spaces of Hate is to recognize specific geographic settings likely to foster hate activity.
Reviews / Votes
"Spaces of Hate is an important book. It contains a collection of thoroughly researched and theoretically astute essays on extreme right-wing hate in the United States. The essays sparkle with insight and commitment and, together, they represent a groundbreaking statement on the spatiality of hate." -- Tim Cresswell, author of In Place/Out of Place and The Tramp in America"An exemplar of applying the geographical imagination to a new substantive area, this is a provocative collection of papers with a constant tendency to surprise and inform. It will stimulate interest both in and outside geography. It brings significantly new light to bear on hate crime studies." -- Kevin Cox, Ohio State University, and author of Political Geography and Spaces of Globalization
