This book is for anyone who wants to know more about how protections for free expression became part of the American identity and why freedom of speech is vitally important. By exploring historic examples, it explains why in a free society the censor never occupies the moral high ground.
Beginning in the nineteenth century with Anthony Comstock, America''s ''censor in chief,'' The Mind of the Censor and the Eye of the Beholder explores how censors operate and why they wore out their welcome in society at large. This book explains how the same tactics were tried and eventually failed in the twentieth century, with efforts to censor music, comic books, television, and other forms of popular entertainment. The historic examples illustrate not just the mindset and tactics of censors, but why they are the ultimate counterculture warriors and why, in free societies, censors never occupy the moral high ground. This book is for anyone who wants to know more about why freedom of speech is important and how protections for free expression became part of the American identity.
