| Sumario: | This book proposes an original policy framework for addressing hate speech. Gelber argues that a policy designed to provide support to affected groups and communities to enable them to speak back when hate speech occurs, is a more useful way of addressing the harms of hate speech than punitive measures.

Gelber's argument uniquely synthesises the ideas of defending the importa. |
