Censoring Culture

<div>If your idea of censorship is an anonymous bureaucrat in a government office exercising prudish control over offensive art and speech wake up and smell the conglomeration. Censorship today is just as likely to be the result of a market force or a bandwidth monopoly as a line edit or the covering of a nude sculpture and the current system of new technologies and economic arrangements has subtle built-in mechanisms for suppressing free expression as powerful as any known in other centuries.<BR><BR>In <I>Censoring Culture</I> the nationally known author of the <I>ArtSpeak</I> books and the head of the National Coalition Against Censorship's Arts Program bring together the latest thinking from art historians cultural theorists legal scholars and psychoanalysts as well as first-person accounts by artists and advocates to give us a comprehensive understanding of censorship in a new century.</div>
