Review Quotes: "Freedom of speech, recently a major object of debate, has been discussed mostly in its negative forms of silencing within Western societies. Bringing together an exceptional company of anthropologists, Freedoms of Speech explores it, in contrast, through the multiplicity of its expressions across times and cultures, thus offering a ground-breaking reflection on language, ethics, and politics."
