racisms to longstanding Islamophobia, from settler colonial refusals of
First Nations voices to border politics and migration debates, ‘free
speech’ has been weaponised to target racialized communities and bolster
authoritarian rule. <i class="">Unsettled Voices </i>identifies the severe
limitations and the violent consequences of ‘free speech debates’
typical of contemporary cultural politics, and explores the
possibilities to combat racism when liberal values underpin emboldened
white supremacy. </p><p class="">What kind of everyday racially motivated speech is protected by such
an interpretation 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? Furthermore, how do such forms
refuse the idea that language can be a performative act from which harm
can be derived? Racialized speech has conjured and shaped the
subjectivities of multiple intersecting participants, reproducing new
and problematic forms of precarity. These vulnerabilities have been
experienced from the sound of rubber bullets in the Occupied Palestinian
Territories to UK hate speech legislation, to the spontaneous
performace of a First Nations war dance on the Australian Rules football
pitch.</p><p class="">This book 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.</p><p class="">This book was originally published as a special issue of <i class="">Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies.</i></p><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
