    Penguin Books Ltd 2005; Not Available

    A law criminalizing incitement to religious hatred has been high on the Labour Government?s list of priorities.

    Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 26.99

    As the US deports record numbers of illegal immigrants and local and state governments scramble to pass laws resembling dystopian police states where anyone can be questioned and neighbors are encouraged to report on one another, violent anti-immigration rhetoric is growing across the nation. Against this tide of hysteria, Pilar Marrero reveals how... more...
