Hate Speech, Pornography, and the Radical Attack on Free Speech Doctrine
by James Weinstein
"Does American free speech doctrine discriminate against women and minorities? In Hate Speech, Pornography, and the Radical Attack on Free Speech Doctrine, James Weinstein carefully examines the charge that in interpreting the First Amendment as protecting hate speech and pornography while allowing myriad other exceptions to free speech, American courts have privileged the Interests of the rich and powerful over the interests of women and people of color.
The author concludes that while free speech doctrine is not in any deep sense as natural as some of its apologists believe, the claim that free speech decisions and principles systematically discriminate against women and minorities does not withstand scrutiny. He shows that this claim of discrimination is based upon a profound but widely shared misunderstanding of the actual workings of free speech doctrine."--BOOK JACKET.
