Beschreibungen
This book critically examines the development of the ‘stirring up hatred’ offences which are currently found within the UK’s Public Order Act 1986. Through a critical discourse analysis of key excerpts of parliamentary Hansard, the book constructs a detailed genealogy of the offences from the perspectives that shaped them. A novel application of theory on 'myth' is used to navigate the complex arguments and to trace ideas about identity and order across parliamentary debates, from fears of Fascism in the 1930s to condemnations of homophobia in the early 21<sup>st</sup> century. The story of the stirring up hatred offences told in this book therefore extends far beyond the traditional frame of a dilemma between regulating hate speech and safeguarding free speech: it is inextricably entwined with myths about law, race and national identity, and speaks to wider themes of coloniality, neoliberalism, white entitlement, British-Christian exceptionalism and the innocence of law. Writtenin an accessible and engaging style, this book challenges a wide range of assumptions about hate speech law and raises a series of considerations for developing forms of accountability that are less complicit in the harms that they are supposed to redress.

Shifts criminalization of hate speech to more nuanced discussions about national identity, security & order Positions language within the field of myth-making Challenges current and the future political discourse on matters of identity
“<i>Stirring up Hatred </i>is an essential read for anyone that engages with the complex and contested field of ‘hate speech’. Neller’s book explores a history of the present of that field of activism, politics and law by way of an analysis of the ever-shifting ways of making sense of threats to good order. She pursues this project by way of the idiosyncrasies of the English law reforms. But her approach and analysis have significance way beyond that jurisdiction. This is a pioneering study that challenges all who engage in the field of hate speech. By confronting and questioning approaches to ‘hate speech’ this book opens up the possibility of thinking otherwise about this social problem in order to better promote a safer, more inclusive and just society.” (Leslie J Moran is Emeritus Professor School of Law, Birkbeck College, University of London)
