Abstract:

HateSpeak in Contemporary Arabic Discourse fills in an obvious gap in
discourse studies on Arabic. After a detailed semantic and
metaphorical account of hate in English and its equivalents in Arabic
and an exploration of the causes of hate, the book illustrates major
cases of hate and HateSpeak in contemporary Arabic discourse - Arabs
vs. Israel, Sunnis vs. Shi'ites, Ahly vs. Zamalek, Egypt vs. Algeria,
Men vs. Women, Rebel vs. Mainstream, and Sa'idi vs. Cairene. There is
a separate section on HateSpeak in Arabic in the context of the
revolutions in many Arab countries - the Arab Spring - with a focus on
Egypt. The book contains a number of apt and interesting digressions
on hate in general and hate in Arabic in particular, and a discussion
of the issues involved in translating HateSpeak in Arabic. The
ultimate goal is not to celebrate hate and HateSpeak, not to side with
any party at the expense of another, but to provide a diagnosis
followed by a number of remedies that may help convert HateSpeak into
HeartSpeak.
