Censoring Culture
Contemporary Threats to Free Expression$19.95 – $60.00If your idea of censorship is an anonymous bureaucrat in a government office exercising prudish control over “offensive” art and speech, wake up and smell the conglomeration.

In Censoring Culture, the nationally known author of the ArtSpeak books and the head of the National Coalition Against Censorship’s Arts Program bring together the latest thinking from art historians, cultural theorists, legal scholars, and psychoanalysts, as well as first-person accounts by artists and advocates, to give us a comprehensive understanding of censorship in a new century. -
