“The best history of free speech ever written and the best defense of free speech ever made.” ーP.J. O’Rourke Hailed as the “first freedom,” free speech is the bedrock of democracy. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval. Today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, it is on the retreat. In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the riveting legal, political, and cultural history of this idea. Through captivating stories of free speech’s many defendersーfrom the ancient Athenian orator Demosthenes and the ninth-century freethinker al-R?z?, to the anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells and modern-day digital activistsーMchangama reveals how the free exchange of ideas underlies all intellectual achievement and has enabled the advancement of both freedom and equality worldwide. Yet the desire to restrict speech, too, is a constant, and he explores how even its champions can be led down this path when the rise of new and contrarian voices challenge power and privilege of all stripes. Meticulously researched and deeply humane, Free Speech demonstrates how much we have gained from this principleーand how much we stand to lose without it.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
