When Freedom Speaks – The Boundaries and the Boundlessness of Our First Amendment Right
Brandeis University Press (Verlag)
978-1-68458-093-4 (ISBN)
When Freedom Speaks chronicles the stories behind our First Amendment right to speak our minds. Lynn Levine Greenky’s background as a lawyer, rhetorician, and teacher gives her a unique perspective on the protection we have from laws that abridge our right to the freedom of speech. Rhetoricians focus on language and how it influences perception and moves people to action. Powerfully employing that rhetorical approach, this book explores concepts related to free speech as moral narratives that proscribe the boundaries of our constitutionally protected right. Using the characters and drama embedded in legal cases that elucidate First Amendment principles, When Freedom Speaks makes the concepts easier to understand and clearly applicable to our lives. With a wide range of examples and accessible language, this book is the perfect overview of the First Amendment.
Lynn Levine Greenky is teaching professor at Syracuse University in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies. She started her career as an attorney admitted to the New York State Bar, and uses her legal training and expertise to teach presentation, advocacy, and argumentation.
