Journal of Hate Studies
Abstract
T
he Institute for Hate Studies at Gonzaga University is pleased to offer Volume 8 of the Journal of Hate Studies, the theme of which is “The Other Among Us.” It is a timely topic, no doubt, as nativism, racism, and extrem- ism boil over in America’s immigration debate. This volume considers those issues as well as a wider range of perspectives on engagement and disengagement with “the other” in our society, culture, and lives.
Imbedded in this volume’s theme are myriad questions. Who is the “other” among us, and what does it mean to be an “other” or to be “othered”? Why does the “other” become so, and how exactly does “other- ing” unfold and play out? What is the distance between what we owe and how we treat the “other” among us? What, if we can receive the message, does the “other” have to say–or offer–to us?
