Words That Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, And The First Amendment

Copertina anteriore
Routledge, 8 mar 2018 - 160 pagine
In this book, the authors, all legal scholars from the tradition of critical race theory start from the experience of injury from racist hate speech and develop a theory of the first amendment that recognizes such injuries. In their critique of "first amendment orthodoxy", the authors argue that only a history of racism can explain why defamation, invasion of privacy and fraud are exempt from free-speech guarantees but racist verbal assault is not.
