In late July 2011, Norway was struck by the worst terror attacks in its history. In a fertilizer-bomb attack on Government Headquarters in Oslo and a one-hour-long shooting spree at the Labour Party Youth Camp at Utoya, seventy-seven people, mostly teenagers, were killed by Anders Behring Breivik. By targeting young future social democratic leaders, his actions were meant to lead to the downfall of Europe's purportedly multiculturalist elites, thus removing an obstacle to his plans for an ethnic cleansing of Muslims from Europe. In 'Anders Breivik and the rise of Islamophobia', leading Norwegian social anthropologist Sindre Bangstad reveals how Breivik's beliefs were not simply the result of a deranged mind, but rather they are the result of the political mainstreaming of pernicious racist and Islamophobic discourses. These ideas, currently gaining common currency, threaten equal rights to dignity, citizenship and democratic participation for minorities throughout contemporary Europe. An authoritative account of the Norwegian terror attacks and the neo-racist discourse that motivated them.

This is really a book about hate speech, using the Anders Breivik case as an example. The first five chapters are turgid academic blather, the sort of prose that is supposedly intended for fellow academics, but in fact what no one on earth ever reads. The sixth chapter, "The Weight of Words," is the only meat in the book and is a good survey of the hate speech issue.
Herz and Molnar's, "The Content and Context of Hate Speech," (Cambridge UP, 2012) costs more but is worth many times as much.
