As nations have aggressively implemented a wide range of mechanisms
to proactively curb potential threats terrorism, Counter-Terrorism
Laws and Freedom of Expression: Global Perspectives offers critical
insight into how counter-terrorism laws have adversely affected
journalism practice, digital citizenship, privacy, online activism,
and other forms of expression. While governments assert the need
for such laws to protect national security, critics argue
counter-terrorism laws are prone to be misappropriated by state
actors who use such laws to quash political dissent, target
journalists, and restrict other forms of citizen expression. The
book is divided into three parts. Part I deals with the politics
and discourse of counter-terrorism laws. Part II focuses on the
ways counter-terrorism laws have impacted journalistic practice in
different countries, with effects ranging from imprisonment of
reporters to self-censorship. Part III addresses how
counter-terrorism laws have been used to target everyday citizens,
social media activists, whistleblowers, and human rights advocates
around the world. Together, the chapters address how
counter-terrorism laws have undermined democratic values in both
authoritarian and liberal political contexts. Scholars of political
science, communication, and legal studies will find this book
particularly interesting.
Films as Rhetorical Texts: Cultivating Discussion about Race,
Racism, and Race Relations presents critical essays focusing on
select commercial films and what they can teach us about race,
racism, and race relations in America. The films in this volume are
critically assessed as rhetorical texts using various aspects and
components of critical race theory, recognizing that race and
racism are intricately ingrained in American society. Contributors
argue that by viewing and evaluating culture-centered films-often
centered around race-and critically analyzing them, faculty and
students can promote the opportunity for genuine open discussions
about race, racism, and race relations in the United States,
specifically in the higher education classroom. Scholars of film
studies, media studies, race studies, and education will find this
book particularly useful.
