Review
"Informative."
-Choice
"[A] must read for scholars and policymakers."
-Valerie Jenness, University of California, Irvine
""In the Name of Hate is an ambitious undertaking which represents a painful reality in the wake of the national tragedy of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States. While published prior to that date, this work adds a rather unique dimension to the scholarship on power and institutionalized discrimination and has global as well as domestic implications."

Product Description
In The Name of Hate is the first book to offer a comprehensive theory of hate crimes, arguing for an expansion of the legal definitions that most states in the U.S. hold. Barbara Perry provides an historical understanding of hate crimes and provocatively argues that hate crimes are not an aberration of current society, but rather a by-product of a society still grappling with inequality, difference, fear, and hate.

Pleasant step into reality
11 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
Dr. Perry's book is an innovative step into the realistic realm that lies beneath media hype about hate crimes. Dr. Perry is both raw and thorough. Very enjoyable read.

Finally, a theoretical analysis of hate crime
3 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
Perry analyzes hate crime through a variety of lenses and ends up framing it brilliantly. As a student of hate crime I am thankful for her thorough portrayal of hate crime as not ABNORMAL but as a hyper-extension of a sexist, racist, homophobic society. She synthesizes what many authors have said. She critiques them thoroughly as well. Excellent job!
