Rivers maintains that state practices used to govern hate and race in both the United States and South Africa do not make citizens safer, even as the United States markets itself as a "melting pot" of cultures and South Africa touts its status as the new multicultural "city on a hill." In effect, the regulatory practices of the neoliberal state aid in the redirection of responsibility for the eradication of racist hate away from the nation and toward the hated, leaving unaddressed the systemic causes of hate. In line with emerging scholarship on hate, but also taking advantage of the perspective that comparative analysis makes possible, Rivers advocates a particular brand of progressive activism for a socially engaged state and citizenry where race is central and racism is not anomalous.RacismUnited StatesRacismSouth AfricaHate crimesUnited StatesHate crimesSouth AfricaSocial problemsUnited StatesSocial problemsSouth AfricaUnited StatesRace relationsUnited StatesPolitics and governmentSouth AfricaRace relationsSouth AfricaPolitics and governmentRacismRacismHate crimesHate crimesSocial problemsSocial problems305.800973Rivers Patrick Lynn1661263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822160603321Governing hate and race in the United States and South Africa4017084UNINA
