"This work is important to those concerned with nationalist discourses of hatred and exclusion, as well as for those interested in thinking about how to heuristically define 'hate' in a given project. But Yanay does not merely diagnose the nationalist symptom. She also attempts to theorize, especially in the final chapter, what she sees as 'the possibility of trans- forming hatred to friendship,' the 'raison d’eˆtre of this book'."
