All those concerned with the meaning and practice of free speech will be interested in this book. The authors discuss the vital importance of the role of universities and their staff and students in establishing and promoting a democratic justice through education. This is a vital topic that must be considered.The authors are not simplistically arguing for constrained or unconstrained free speech. Rather they are “uncovering what conditions ought to prevail to enhance the notion of free speech”. They are concerned with the cultivation of justice within pedagogical encounters. The book is passionately written, engagingly written with incisive academic discussions illustrated by fascinating case studies. The coda by Ronald Barnett is fascinating and extremely valuable. This is an important book. It is essential reading in troubled times.
