The social and psychological phenomenon of hate is defined by many people as many different things. Whitlock (Queer (In)Justice) and Bronski (A Queer History of the United States) explore how hate evolves from fear; typically from a uncertainty that exists as an irrational prejudice inadvertently inherited from societal rules. The authors identify the role of scorn in American society: its evolution, its impact, and the ideas of justice and personhood that help to define it. Writings that exist on the subject primarily discuss race, but this work delves into disability, economic conditions, and sexuality, revealing the consistent patterns of animosity and struggle that marginalized groups experience. The narrative reminds us that hate is a complex combination of many concepts and can be fought by paying attention to the areas of society that deal with hate violence--and that it is possible to rewrite what exists in our collective imaginations about what it means to be good, just, and fair. It's encouraging to see gender and sexual identity included in these discussions of bias. VERDICT A very provocative and enjoyable academic read. This well-researched volume successfully provides intriguing and challenging ideas while remaining clear and concise. Recommended for those interested in the evolving roles of prejudice and violence and the effects on our justice system.--Cicely Douglas, Palm Beach Cty. Lib. Syst., FL
