The Power of Free Expression in America introduces the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment and explores the historic roots of freedom of expression from John Milton's Areopagitica to the current times. It explores questions surrounding the value of free speech, the role of the press in society, and the public's right to know. Do people have the right to criticize public figures? Should private groups ever restrict speech? Does government have a right to silence critics, ban books, or restrict teaching?
The third edition features extensive updates with new chapters focused on challenges to free expression ranging from private restrictions to government-enacted limitations. New "Changemaker" profiles at the end of each chapter highlight individuals who have fought for and used the First Amendment to bring about change. "Consider This" boxes throughout the text provide new classroom discussion prompts related to the chapter materials.
The Power of Free Expression in America is ideal for courses in journalism, communication, media studies, U.S. history, government, civics, and the First Amendment.
