无畏之言：摆脱第一修正案束缚

A powerful debunking of First Amendment orthodoxy that critiques "reckless speech," which endangers vulnerable groups, and elevates "fearless speech," which seeks to advance equality and democracy.

Freedom of speech has never been more important—or more controversial. From debates about what's permissible on social media, to the politics of campus speakers and corporate advertisements, the First Amendment is incessantly in the news and constantly being held up as the fundamental principle of American democracy. Yet, in reality, it has contributed more to eroding our democracy than supporting it.

In Fearless Speech, Dr. Mary Anne Franks emphasizes the distinction between what speech a democratic society should protect and what speech a democratic society should promote. While the First Amendment in theory is politically neutral, in practice it has been legally deployed most visibly and effectively to promote powerful antidemocratic interests: misogyny, racism, religious zealotry, and corporate self-interest, in other words, reckless speech. Instead, Franks argues, we need to focus on fearless speech—speakers who have risked their safety, their reputations, and in some cases their lives, to call out injustice and hold the powerful accountable. Whether it be civil rights leaders, the women of the #MeToo movement, or pro-choice advocates, Franks shows us how their cases and their voices can allow us to promote a more democratic version of free speech.

Told through an accessible narrative and ending with a call for change that urges us to reevaluate the legal precedents and uses of the First Amendment, Fearless Speech is a revelatory new argument that urges us to reimagine what our society could look like.

对第一 amendment正统观念的一次有力解构，该书批判“轻率言论”，这种言论会危及弱势群体，并推崇“无畏言论”，这种言论致力于推进平等与民主。

言论自由从未比现在更重要——或者更受争议。无论是关于社交媒体上什么是可以被接受的讨论，还是校园讲者和企业广告的政治考量，First Amendment始终是新闻热点，并且不断作为美国民主的基本原则而受到推崇。然而，在现实中，它已经更多地导致了我们民主制度的削弱而不是支持。

在《无畏言论》一书中，Dr. Mary Anne Fr强调了一个民主社会应该保护和推广的言语之间的区别。从理论上讲，First Amendment的政治中立性是存在的，但在实践中，它已经被最明显且有效地用来推广强大反民主利益：性别歧视、种族主义、宗教狂热以及企业自利——换句话说就是轻率言论。相反，Franks认为我们应该专注于无畏言论——那些为了揭露不公正而冒险了安全、声誉甚至生命的人的声音。无论是民权领袖、#MeToo运动中的女性，还是支持选择生育者，Franks都展示了他们的案例和声音如何使我们能够推广一种更民主的自由言论。

通过一个易于理解的故事叙述，并以呼吁变革结束——这将促使我们重新评估First Amendment的法律先例及其使用，《无畏言论》提供了一个全新的论点，它敦促我们要重新想象我们的社会可能的样子。
