The Lived Experience of Hate Crime

Beschreibung

This book approaches the topic of the subjective, lived experience of hate crime from the perspective of Husserlian phenomenology. It provides an experientially well-grounded account of how and what is experienced as a hate crime, and what this reveals about ourselves as the continually reconstituted “subject” of such experiences.

The book shows how qualitative social science methods can be better grounded in philosophically informed theory and methodological practices to add greater depth and explanatory power to experiential approaches to social sciences topics.  The Authors also highlight several gaps and contradictions within Husserlian analyses of prejudice, which are exposed by attempts to concretely apply this approach to the field of hate crimes.

Coverage includes the difficulties in providing an empathetic understanding of expressions of harmful formsof prejudice underlying hate crimes, including hate speech, arising from our own and others’ ‘life worlds’. The Authors describe a ‘Husserlian-based’ view of hate crime as well as a novel interpretation of the value of the comprehensive methodological stages pioneered by Husserl.

The intended readership includes those concerned with discrimination and hate crime, as well as those involved in qualitative research into social topics in general. The broader content level makes this work suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, even professionals within law enforcement.

The first book to provide a systematic analysis of Husserlian phenomenology as an approach to the lived experience of hate crime 

The only volume dealing with the what, how and for-whom levels of the lived experience of hate crime, whilst showing how the lived body mediates each of these experiential levels  

Makes a series of critical yet constructive points to further the claims of Husserlian phenomenology to be a relevant social scientific perspective

“I found the book to be a very valuable addition to phenomenological scholarship. I hope this work sparks more phenomenological interest in areas such as hate crime and violence.” (R. Krishnaswamy, Jindal Global Law Review, Vol. 11 (1), 2020)
