An Important Read, If You Care.
29 May 2005
Format:Paperback
Jansen is known for being a pioneer in the awareness of censorship in the late twentieth century. In her widely read and referred to text, Censorship, she asserts, "The question is not, `is there censorship', but rather `what kind?'"(25). She then goes on to discuss the underground and less obvious ways that censorship has been practiced since the age of Enlightenment.
What do Capitalist and Socialist societies have in common? They both practice censorship. The fact is, people and profit go together, and where you have discomfort, you have people choosing against it. While Jansen's work is too broad to get to the very heart of the issue, ranging from a look at Marx to a Greek Mythology and to the emergence of the internet, she raises questions that need to be looked at. This book is an important one, that has inspired many in the study of academic freedom and censorship in societies past and current.
