| Summary: | Publisher's description: The contributors to this volume consider whether it is possible to establish carefully tailored hate speech policies that are cognizant of the varying traditions, histories, and values of different countries. Throughout, there is a strong comparative emphasis, with examples (and authors) drawn from around the world. All the authors explore whether or when different cultural and historical setting justify different substantive rules given that such cultural relativism can be used to justify content-based restrictions and so endanger freedom of expression. |
