Beschreibung:
Was Salman Rushdie right to have written The Satanic Verses ? Were the protestors right to have done so? What about the Danish cartoons? This book examines the moral questions raised by cultural controversies, and how intercultural dialogue might be generated within multicultural societies.
The book will examine controversies in a new way, marking a major departure from current literature on freedom of speech controversies, which have traditionally emphasized the legalistic over the ethical.
