Sinossi

Historical Censorship explores the suppression and manipulation of information throughout history, revealing how these actions have shaped political landscapes and individual freedoms. The book argues that censorship is a tool used to construct narratives that serve those in authority. It also examines how censorship has undermined democratic principles and intellectual progress.

 
The book analyzes historical periods such as the Reformation, where religious factions suppressed dissenting voices through book burnings, and totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany, that used propaganda and persecution to enforce conformity. Historical Censorship progresses by defining censorship and exploring its various forms across different eras, from religious and state-sponsored control to contemporary issues like government surveillance and corporate influence, offering insights into resisting censorship today.

Smashing Statues - The Rise and...

Erin Thompson

A leading expert’s exploration of the past, present, and future of public monuments in America. 
An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? And who gets to decide which ones should stay up and which should come down?  
Erin L. Thompson, the country’s leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political, and social issues involved in such battles brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She traces the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, starting with the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom atop the US Capitol, and explores the surprising motivations behind such contemporary flashpoints as the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol. Written with great verve and thoroughly researched, Smashing Statues gives listeners the context they need to consider the fundamental question: Whose voices must be heard and whose pain must remain private?
