Donald Altschiller is a librarian at Mugar Memorial Library at Boston University, Boston, MA. He is a contributor to ABC-CLIO's Conspiracy Theories in American History and The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery.
"This volume should prove helpful to a wide range of students of the hate crime phenomenon, from secondary school students to scholarly specialists." - American Reference Books Annual
