- Synopsis
- The censorship practices of the United States, Russia, China, Zimbabwe and Egypt are summarized from a global perspective, and Caso (Wesleyan U.) notes that the electronic era has had little effect on these policies and practices. The reasons for censorship are explored and compared in each case, including suppression of public dissent, protecting religious dogma and even the rights of parents to protect their children from corrupting influences. Biographical information on key historical figures who are linked with censorship issues is also included in this volume, which is designed for students of law, global studies and history.
