Amid surging social media and online speech wars, readers concerned about the future of free speech, privacy, and the law will appreciate Kosseff’s ability to deftly place the many-sided anonymity debate in the context of constitutional values and social norms.
This well-reasoned work will appeal to readers interested in bettering their understanding of Charlottesville, what led up to it, and its aftermath; the complexities of First Amendment doctrinal law; and the history of free speech. Recommended for general audiences, scholars, and practicing lawyers, this is a must for academic libraries.
Whether or not readers have a strong grounding in the law, they’ll be stirred by the connections the book draws among Hamilton, current events, and history.
