Freedom of expression on disturbing matters of society, history,
and governance is becoming ever more contested in Canada. The idea
that official meanings and histories can legally substitute for
publicly constructed ones - for fear of what an uncensored public
might themselves construct - is gaining widespread acceptance.
Public invocation of hate propaganda law, its language, and its
moral authority in otherwise ordinary discursive contexts, has been
crucial to, and symbolic of, this trend. Democracy Off Balance
offers an unsettling analysis of hate censorship and hate censors
as a complex paradox of modern democratic discourse. Stefan Braun
argues against the supposed public interest served by the hate
speech laws and dissects the paradoxical forces - the politically
self-contradictory thinking and the socially self-defeating
assumptions - that drive hate censorship in Canada today. Braun
draws on censors' own terms of social and political reference to
show how they undermine their own causes with hate censorship and
uncovers how hate speech law subtly impacts far beyond its strict
legal confines to condition and corrode public discourse. He brings
together the debate and the debaters in a multidimensional approach
that challenges traditional ways of seeing the legal boundaries of
freedom of expression. Democracy Off Balance is a timely and
absorbing exploration of a highly controversial topic.
