This review critically summarises Alexander Brown and Adriana Sinclair’s excellent book, The Politics of Hate Speech Laws. The review proceeds by canvassing the main arguments presented in each of the book’s nine chapters, while also seeking to highlight the book’s overarching themes and ideas.

In particular the review praises the book’s pluralistic, ecumenical style, arguing that readers are sure to find arguments within the book with which they can engage, regardless of their pre-existing commitments and values (something of a rarity in the field of hate speech regulation literature). However, the review also notes that the book’s breadth-over-depth approach has several key drawbacks. It is suggested, for instance, that some of the key proposals in the book would have benefited from being explored in greater critical detail.
