Hate speech manifests itself in different social contexts, such as political debates, artistic expression, professional sports, or work environments. However, the rapid development of digital technologies, and especially of social media platforms, has created additional challenges to understanding this extreme act. Although this field of study is already over two decades old, many questions still need to be answered. This book explores the nature of hate speech on social media. Readers will find chapters written by 21 authors from 17 universities or research centers. It includes researchers from 11 countries, prioritizing a diversity of approaches from the Global North and Global South. The authors study the impact of recent events on hate speech – the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war, the refugee crisis – and recurrent attacks on minority groups such as women, immigrants, or the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, readers will encounter taxonomic proposals, new methodological approaches, theoretical frameworks, and mapping of behavioral patterns.
