Hate literature

Hate literature refers to written materials—such as books, pamphlets, or online content—that promote hatred, discrimination, or violence against particular groups based on characteristics like race, religion, ethnicity, or gender. These publications often spread false information, stereotypes, and hostility, aiming to incite prejudice and societal division. Legally, many countries restrict hate literature because it can incite harm, threaten public order, and undermine social harmony. Understanding hate literature helps recognize its harmful impact and the importance of promoting respectful, inclusive communication.
