Quarantining Hate

Taber uncovered a horrible truth about her grandfather’s actions during World War II.  After seeing the rise of hate-based crimes, she decided to use her story along with research to show how hate can be prevented from spreading when society pushes back against it.  Quarantining Hate is a journey of trying to understand how the grandfather she loved could do the deeds he did and how there could be hope to turn the tide of rising hate-based violence.  The book is a combination of memoir, history, sociology, and psychology with a little hope added in.

“The emotional journey author Kerrie Taber embarked on after learning the truth about her grandfather’s past made Quarantining Hate a riveting read. I also found it interesting how she used her academic skills as a college professor to research not only her grandfather’s past, but the origins and dissemination of hate and prejudice to help give context and understanding to the deeply personal struggle she was experiencing. I congratulate author Kerrie Taber and her book, Quarantining Hate, for winning an award from The Authors Zone (TAZ) in 2023. The recognition was well deserved and the book is definitely worth 5 stars.”
