From celebrated public intellectual, New York Times bestselling author, and Americas most famous professor (BookPage) comes an urgent and sharply observed look at freedom of speech and the First Amendment offering a nonpartisan take on what it does and doesnt protect and what kind of speech it should and shouldnt regulate (Publishers Weekly).How does the First Amendment really work? Is it a principle or a value? What is hate speech and should it always be banned? Are we free to declare our religious beliefs in the public square? What role, if any, should companies like Facebook play in policing the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions?With clarity and power, Stanley Fish explores these complex questions in The First. From the rise of fake news, to the role of tech companies in monitoring content (including the Presidents tweets), to Colin Kaepernicks kneeling protest, First Amendment controversies continue to dominate the news cycle. Across America, college campus administrators are being forced to balance free speech against demands for safe spaces and trigger warnings.With thoughtful, dense provocations that will require close attention (Kirkus Reviews), Fish ultimately argues that freedom of speech is a doubleedged concept; it frees us from constraints, but it also frees us to say and do terrible things. Urgent and controversial, The First is sure to ruffle feathers, spark dialogue, and shine new light on one of Americas most cherishedand debatedconstitutional rights.

The intersections of hate speech and political discourse are fascinating, but I struggled with parts of the text. It feels like it tries to cover too much too quickly. If you're up for a challenge, it's worth a look.

Interesting but Dense
I had high hopes for this book since it covers important topics like hate speech and post-truth politics. However, I found some sections a bit hard to digest. It's a solid read if you can get through the heavier parts.
