The urge to censor is as old as the urge to speak. From the first Chinese emperor’s wholesale elimination of books to the Vatican’s suppression of pornography, right up to the attack on Charlie Hebdo and the advent of Internet troll armies in this century, words, images and ideas have always been hunted down by those trying to suppress them.
In this talk, writer, lawyer, and journalist Eric Berkowitz takes a compelling deep-dive into the political censorship of the 19th century.
[This talk was filmed in the Brockway Room at Conway Hall in July 2021, with an online audience]
Eric’s newest book, Dangerous Ideas: A Brief History of Censorship in the West from the Ancients to Fake News, is available now from SaqiBooks.com
