Fresh empirical evidence of pornography's negative effects and the
resurgence of feminist and conservative critiques have caused
local, state, and federal officials to reassess the pornography
issue. In "The New Politics of Pornography," Donald Alexander Downs
explores the contemporary antipornography movement and addresses
difficult questions about the limits of free speech. Drawing on
official transcripts and extensive interviews, Downs recreates and
analyzes landmark cases in Minneapolis and Indianapolis. He argues
persuasively that both conservative and liberal camps are often
characterized by extreme intolerance which hampers open policy
debate and may ultimately threaten our modern doctrine of free
speech. Downs concludes with a balanced and nuanced discussion of
what First Amendment protections pornography should be afforded.
This provocative and interdisciplinary work will interest students
of political science, women's studies, civil liberties, and
constitutional law.
