Synopsis :

President Trump has routinely indicated his disdain for the free speech of anyone who disagrees with him. Yet free speech has also come under assault from the left, particularly on college campuses, where critics claim that it has become a weapon of the powerful against women, racial minorities, and LGBTQ communities. That ignores the many ways that these groups have deployed free speech in their own struggles for equality and liberation. And that's why Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn takes an historical approach: only by looking backwards can we appreciate how far we have come, thanks to free speech, and why we cannot turn our backs on it now. Free Speech addresses weighty and serious matters, but accompanied by illustrations by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoons Signe Wilkinson, the message is vivid and accessible, adding color and humor to arguments that might otherwise seem abstract and dry.
