"Spaces of Hate is an important book. It contains a collection of thoroughly researched and theoretically astute essays on extreme right-wing hate in the United States. The essays sparkle with insight and commitment and, together, they represent a groundbreaking statement on the spatiality of hate." -- Tim Cresswell, author of In Place/Out of Place and The Tramp in America"An exemplar of applying the geographical imagination to a new substantive area, this is a provocative collection of papers with a constant tendency to surprise and inform. It will stimulate interest both in and outside geography. It brings significantly new light to bear on hate crime studies." -- Kevin Cox, Ohio State University, and author of Political Geography and Spaces of Globalization
