In this book we come to see how it also acts as a smokescreen behind which a more dangerous and insidious threat to free speech can operate.\u003cbr\u003e Soley shows how as corporate power has grown and come to influence the issues on which ordinary Americans should be able to speak out, so new strategies have developed to restrict free speech on issues in which corporations and property-owners have an interest. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCensorship, Inc.\u003c\/b\u003e is a comprehensive examination of the vast array of corporate practices which restrict free speech in the United States today in fields as diverse as advertsing and the media, the workplace, community life, and the environment. Soley also shows how these threats to free speech have been resisted by activism, legal argument, and through legislation. Grounded in extensive research into actual cases, this book is at the same time a challenge to conventional thinking about the nature of censorship and free speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Soley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583670661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583670668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 6.38w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 1176","brand":"Lawrence Soley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058936934655,"sku":"9781583670668","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33e15b4f-72ff-4cab-bc97-9b29e9f25b65.jpg?v=1685055318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/censorship-inc-lawrence-soley-9781583670668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
