Hate speech targeting Sami people with disabilites

Abstract

In essence, research on hate speech has focused on single groups (Nadim, Fladmoe, & Wessel-Aas, 2016). However, according to research on harassment, it sometimes occurs as interactions between group affiliations, thereby exposing some people to added risk (Buchanan, Fitzgerald, & Tetrick, 2008). Consequently, studies of hate speech should also examine the interactions between various group affiliations (Nadim et al., 2016). In this chapter, we elaborate on the phenomenon of hate speech targeting individuals with a double minority-group affiliation, Sami people with disabilities, from an intersectional perspective.
