Sociology

This text explores two forms of hate and prejudice – racism in contemporary American society and the historical occurrence of anti-Semitism – under a single conceptual framework.

Jack Levin, is a well-known scholar, author, and lecturer on the subject of hate crimes. In this book he shows how support for both racism and anti-Semitism can be conceptualized as occurring among four groups: hatemongers, dabblers, sympathizers, and spectators. Levin argues that hate and prejudice continue at a very dangerous level in our society, and that hate typically emanates not from the ranting and raving of a few people at the margins of society, but from ordinary people in the mainstream.

• Uses a single conceptual framework to explore racism in American society, and the historical occurrenece of anti-Semitism, with special emphasis on Nazi Germany.
• The experiences of other groups, such as Armenians massacred in 1915 and gay students victimized by violence, are also examined to provide a broad comparative perspective.
• Shows the economic and psychological benefits of hate, making it an expected, even rational, behavior.
• The final chapter argues that respect for differences requires rebellious and even deviant behavior.
• An appendix includes the complete text of an inspirational speech from March, 2000 by Dan Ponder of the Georgia State House of Representatives, urging that body to vote for pending hates crimes legislation.

• Examines the treatment of American Muslims in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S.
• Also discusses a "new anti-Semitism" during the same period, in which Jews around the world are held responsible for Israeli government policies.

This text explores two forms of hate and prejudice — racism in contemporary American society and the historical occurrence of anti-Semitism — under a single conceptual framework.

Jack Levin is a well-known scholar, author, and lecturer on the subject of hate crimes. In this book, he shows how support for both racism and anti-Semitism can be conceptualized as occurring among four groups: hatemongers, dabblers, sympathizers, and spectators. Levin argues that hate and prejudice continue at a very dangerous level in our society, and that hate typically emanates not from the ranting and raving of a few people at the margins of society, but from ordinary people in the mainstream.

As with every new edition, Levin updates this text to reflect current research and changes in the world. Examples include: an examination of the treatment of American Muslims in the aftermath of September 11^th, 2001 and discussion on the "new anti-Semitism," in which Jews around the world are held responsible for Israeli government policies.
