Reviews

Krotoszynski's conclusions are revealing and forcefully presented. This is especially so when they are based on the author's sophisticated and copiously documented comparison of the U.S. with four advanced legal systems committed to participatory politics. The book undoubtedly challenges many of us who smugly accept American 'exceptionalism' in freedom of speech and the press... Krotoszynski helps us appreciate the value of comparative free speech with a new, penetrating perspective. Law and Politics Book Review Suggests that First Amendment scholars might find it useful to consider how other nations, committed to democratic government, have sought to resolve the constant tension between protecting speech while also securing equality.
