Description
The compulsion to silence others is as old as the urge to speak. Berkowitz reveals how drastically censorship has shaped our modern society. His book illuminates the power of restricting speech; how it has defined states, ideas, and culture; and (despite how each of us would like to believe otherwise) how it is something we all participate in. From the first Chinese emperor's wholesale elimination of books, to the attack on Charlie Hebdo and the volatile politics surrounding censorship of social media, Berkowitz demonstrates the fragility of power and how every individual can act as both the suppressor and the suppressed. -- adapted from jacket
