[edit] Overview
This book discusses the social issues resulting from rumors and how they contribute to riots, racial or political violence, and social and economic upheavals. Rumor has been known as one of the contributing factors to violence and discrimination and yet little studies has been done to curb this practice. In what used to be a face-to-face interaction, rumor is now mostly propagated through the internet.
