The book introduces a new theoretical framework for understanding the criminalization of hate, termed "law as social justice liberalism." It critiques the past 30 years of hate crime legislation, highlighting the inadequacies in addressing the unique harms of hate-based offenses. Advocating for an expanded view of harm in criminal law, it emphasizes the need to recognize hate crimes as social injustices. Utilizing Iris Young's work, the text analyzes the impacts of hate crimes as group oppression and proposes criteria for defining protected characteristics in legislation.

Not Your Mother's Mammy examines how black artists, mostly women of the diaspora, many of them former domestics, reconstruct the black female subjectivities of domestics in black media. In doing so, they undermine and defamiliarize the reductive, one-dimensional images of black domestics as perpetual victims lacking voice and agency. In line with international movements like #MeToo and #timesup, the women in these stories demand to be heard.
