Heins (founder, Free Expression Policy Project) presents an updated edition of her legal history of the "harm-to-minors" argument and censorship in the United States. Although a legal history, she also addresses cultural and political context as she chronologically address judicial struggles over "indecency," "variable obscenity," and public school censorship. In addition to the chronological narrative, she includes separate chapters on sexuality education, cultural differences between the United States and other countries, and the study of "media effects." This is a paperbound reprint of a 2001 book. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
