Taking Liberties: National Barriers to the Free Flow of IdeasBloomsbury Academic, 1990 M02 15 - 173 pages A groundbreaking contribution to the literature of constitutional law, Taking Liberties is the first book to explore the ways domestic policies deny U.S. citizens access to international sources of information. Author Elizabeth Hull argues that such policies--which include limiting Americans' right to travel, censoring foreign documentaries, suppressing foreign literature considered politically objectionable, preventing controversial aliens from visiting the country, and restricting international scientific exchange--contravene the Constitution's First Amendment, which was designed to prevent government authorities from suppressing information bearing on public affairs. Hull challenges traditional judicial interpretations of First Amendment protection, asserting that in an era of global problems, constitutional protection must be extended to international sources of information that bear upon public issues. Written with a minimum of legal jargon, the volume is an ideal supplemental text for graduate and undergraduate courses in constitutional law. |
