The motivations for this book are to conceptualize, analyze, and interpret a crucial yet understudied aspect of online hate: the social processes generating, reinforcing, shaping, and diffusing that content. The chapters focus on diverse contexts, platforms, data, methodologies, and processes of online hate.
