C. M. Ann Baker and Clyde Manwell and Brian Martin and Cedric Pugh — Intellectual Suppression: Australian Case Histories, Analysis And Responses

Angus & Robertson 1986 Paperback, 304pp. In Australia, as in other modern western democracies, the right to freedom of speech and inquiry is unquestioned. But do such freedoms exist, simply because we believe in them? This book documents case histories of intellectual suppression occurring within the Australian academic and scientific community. Suppression may involve the blocking of funds, the denial of promotion or publication, outright harassment, the subtle undermining of reputation or, in its most extreme form, dismissal. The editors have all had first-hand experience with suppression cases and have studied the phenomenon extensively. Owner's Name inside. Owners name inside. Cover aged. Spine creased.
