商品簡介
Core textbook for the sociology of violence course taught at the sophomore/junior level in 4-year institutions, and supplemental textbook for the social problems course taught at the freshman level in sociology departments at both 4-year and 2-year institutions.
The Violence of Hate, Fourth Edition emphasizes the commonalities joining rather than the differences separating those in society who have been victimized by violence because they are different in socially significant ways—based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability status. The authors explore under a single conceptual framework several important, yet perplexing, forms of hate and prejudice including racism in American society and the historical occurrence of anti-Semitism around the globe.
