Book excerpt: 'A penetrating account of Cuban history ... [an] extraordinary book' MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT, US Secretary of State, 1997-2001 'This is a splendid book, which narrates the tragedy of a Cuban, Oswaldo Payá, who dared to oppose Fidel Castro in communist Cuba, and paid dearly for it. David E. Hoffman's research is magnificent and his biography reads like a great novel' MARIO VARGAS LLOSA The riveting biography of a dissident who defied Castro's dictatorship, and paid with his life. Oswaldo Payá was seven years old when Fidel Castro seized power, promising to create a 'free, democratic, and just Cuba'. But Castro instead created an authoritarian regime and crushed all dissent. The dream of democracy became Payá's life work. Sent to Castro's forced labour camps, he could not stay silent, and formed a pro-democracy movement. After receiving multiple death threats, Payá was killed in a suspicious car accident in 2012. Democracy is in retreat all over the world. Oswaldo Payá showed how to fight for it. His battle was waged from the streets of Havana but carried universal truths.Pulitzer Prize-winner David E. Hoffman, author of the acclaimed The Billion Dollar Spy, tells the compelling story of a courageous dissident in action.

Book excerpt: Winner of the PROSE Award An NRC Handelsblad Best Book of the Year “Ambitious and impressive...At a time when the very survival of both freedom and democracy seems uncertain, books like this are more important than ever.” —The Nation “Helps explain how partisans on both the right and the left can claim to be protectors of liberty, yet hold radically different understandings of its meaning...This deeply informed history of an idea has the potential to combat political polarization.” —Publishers Weekly “Ambitious and bold, this book will have an enormous impact on how we think about the place of freedom in the Western tradition.” —Samuel Moyn, author of Not Enough “Brings remarkable clarity to a big and messy subject...New insights and hard-hitting conclusions about the resistance to democracy make this essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of our current dilemmas.” —Lynn Hunt, author of History: Why It Matters For centuries people in the West identified freedom with the ability to exercise control over the way in which they were governed. The equation of liberty with restraints on state power—what most people today associate with freedom—was a deliberate and dramatic rupture with long-established ways of thinking. So what triggered this fateful reversal? In a masterful and surprising reappraisal of more than two thousand years of Western thinking about freedom, Annelien de Dijn argues that this was not the natural outcome of such secular trends as the growth of religious tolerance or the creation of market societies. Rather, it was propelled by an antidemocratic backlash following the French and American Revolutions. The notion that freedom is best preserved by shrinking the sphere of government was not invented by the revolutionaries who created our modern democracies—it was first conceived by their critics and opponents. De Dijn shows that far from following in the path of early American patriots, today’s critics of “big government” owe more to the counterrevolutionaries who tried to undo their work.

Book excerpt: Is it OK with you that DC politicians silence your free speech to make their job easier?Then they complain about it:From the 114th session, when Democrats were the minority party, a committee report said:The Rules Committee is the instrument Republicans used to break both Speakers' promises and shut out the elected representatives of half the country. From the 110th session, when Republicans were the minority party, the same congressional report said: The choice is simple: either the Democratic Majority can change its course and actually permit debate and consideration in the House, or they can continue their downward spiral of stifling the voice of any Member.The liberty of Free Speech for us has been pimped by Congress to make things easier for them and to benefit them. Look at our country today as a result. In Congress because half of us have no influence with our speech there is inequality. Hence Aristotle's warning that inequality brings instability.Majority Rule in Congress gives all the committees (115 in the House) to one political party. It is in committees that bills are drafted that eventually become law. In committees the chairperson silences the speech of the minority representatives. Thus half the citizen have no impact on the legislation that becomes law that we all have to live under. The result is placed on our children and grandchildren. Imagine now that we replace the monopoly of committee chairs with a ratio of chairs based on seated party membership in each chamber. If one party has 53% of the seats, they get 53% of the 115 committee chairs and the others get 47% of the 115 committee chairs. Then all citizen's voices would have a sword in creating new laws that we all live under. Your representative having a sword to defend your free speech will produce equality and with equality, if Aristotle is right, stability will finally be part of America and our children's future.

Download or read book Human Liberty and Freedom of Speech written by C. Edwin Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-10-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although an inchoate liberty theory of freedom of speech has deep roots in Supreme Court decisions and political history, it has been overshadowed in judicial decisions and scholarly commentary by the marketplace of ideas theory. In this book, Baker critiques the assumptions required by the marketplace of ideas theory and develops the liberty theory, showing its philosophical soundness, persuasiveness, and ability to protect free speech. He argues that First Amendment liberty rights (as well as Fourteenth Amendment equality rights) required by political or moral theory are central to the possibility of progressive change. Problem areas are examined, including the question of whether individual political and civil rights can in principle be distinguished from property rights, freedom of the press, and the use of public spaces for expressive purposes.
