This theme issue identifies the deep limitations and the violent consequences of the longstanding and constantly developing ‘free speech debates’ typical of so many contexts in the West, and explores the possibilities to combat racism when liberal values are ‘weaponized’ to target racialized communities. The collection thus examines the globally mediated politics of ‘free speech’ that has circulated since at least the debates on the publication of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses in 1988, the Danish cartoons controversy of 2005 and more recently, the murders at Charlie Hebdo in Paris. What kind of everyday racially motivated speech is protected by narrow interpretations of liberal ideology? How do everyday forms of social expression that vilify and intimidate find shelter through an inflation of the notion of freedom of speech and a refusal of the idea that language can be a performative act from which harm can be derived? These questions are explored in transnational contexts with a particular focus on settler colonial Australia.
