Description

Susan Dwyer's The Problem of Pornography is the first anthology to present a balanced view of the scope of arguments concerning the nature of pornography and censorship. Devoted exclusively to the topic, Dwyer's book presents a range of feminist and other responses to pornography from influential women and men, including Andrea Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon, Helen Longino, Ronald Dworkin, Stanley Fish, and John Stoltenberg. By not promoting any single view, The Problem of Pornography encourages comparison and debate. This excellent collection stresses the complexity of debate surrounding free speech issues, and includes chapters that address the limits of both censorship and First Amendment absolutism. Dwyer's book contains: a section on gay pornography ; a legal appendix describing central Supreme Court cases in both the United States and Canada ; important legal milestones, including the Minneapolis Anti-Pornography Ordinance.
