Reason's Volokh Conspiracy blog announced that Prof. Samantha Barbas of the University of Iowa will be guest-blogging about her new book, Hate Speech: The Legal and Cultural History of an American Dilemma. The posts are set to run this week and next, according to the announcement.
The source is purely an introduction to the series; it does not preview Barbas's arguments or the book's conclusions. Readers interested in the legal and cultural dimensions of hate speech will have to wait for the posts themselves to see how she frames the historical debate.
