Dare to Speak
Author: Suzanne Nossel
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062966065
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
"A must read."—Margaret Atwood A vital, necessary playbook for navigating and defending free speech today by the CEO of PEN America, Dare To Speak provides a pathway for promoting free expression while also cultivating a more inclusive public culture. Online trolls and fascist chat groups. Controversies over campus lectures. Cancel culture versus censorship. The daily hazards and debates surrounding free speech dominate headlines and fuel social media storms. In an era where one tweet can launch—or end—your career, and where free speech is often invoked as a principle but rarely understood, learning to maneuver the fast-changing, treacherous landscape of public discourse has never been more urgent. In Dare To Speak, Suzanne Nossel, a leading voice in support of free expression, delivers a vital, necessary guide to maintaining democratic debate that is open, free-wheeling but at the same time respectful of the rich diversity of backgrounds and opinions in a changing country. Centered on practical principles, Nossel’s primer equips readers with the tools needed to speak one’s mind in today’s diverse, digitized, and highly-divided society without resorting to curbs on free expression. At a time when free speech is often pitted against other progressive axioms—namely diversity and equality—Dare To Speak presents a clear-eyed argument that the drive to create a more inclusive society need not, and must not, compromise robust protections for free speech. Nossel provides concrete guidance on how to reconcile these two sets of core values within universities, on social media, and in daily life. She advises readers how to: Use language conscientiously without self-censoring ideas; Defend the right to express unpopular views; And protest without silencing speech. Nossel warns against the increasingly fashionable embrace of expanded government and corporate controls over speech, warning that such strictures can reinforce the marginalization of lesser-heard voices. She argues that creating an open market of ideas demands aggressive steps to remedy exclusion and ensure equal participation. Replete with insightful arguments, colorful examples, and salient advice, Dare To Speak brings much-needed clarity and guidance to this pressing—and often misunderstood—debate.

Pages : 814
Book Description
The trap is baited: enemies at every corner, evidence of treason and a dark secret going back forty years... Teardrop is ready for Aubrey. A Russian defector is picked up by the Americans, and the information he yields is explosive: a secret file, codenamed ‘Teardrop’, contains overwhelming evidence that British Intelligence Director-General Kenneth Aubrey, has been a deep-cover Soviet agent since 1946. Aubrey is arrested in Vienna on charges of treason, his guilt compounded by allegations that he murdered a high-ranking British civil servant forty years earlier. But Aubrey’s top field agent Patrick Hyde suspects foul play. He believes there may be collusion between the Russians and British Intelligence to destroy Aubrey – and perhaps the Secret Intelligence Service itself. Alone, hunted by both the KGB and the British, Hyde is forced across the Iron Curtain and deep into Moscow, at the heart of the Soviet bloc. To clear Aubrey’s name he must break into the world’s most guarded computer, and reveal its innermost secret... the truth behind Teardrop. An emotionally fraught tale of deception and intrigue, The Bear’s Tears confirms Craig Thomas as a master thriller-writer. Perfect for fans of Frederick Forsythe and Tom Clancy.
