Summary A professor of communication aims to help readers realize the subtle ways in which the popular fascination with hatred expresses itself in contemporary culture and in our everyday lives, and encourages readers to take a stand against society's casual tolerance of hatred and violence. Sections address how we send and receive mixed messages about hatred almost constantly; the obvious and subtle manifestations of hatred; and practical steps parents, consumers, and voters can take to reject a culture of hatred and embrace a culture of life.
