Book synopsis

The academy is in crisis. Students call for speakers§to be banned, books to be slapped with trigger warnings and university to be a§Safe Space, free of offensive words or upsetting ideas. But as tempting as it§is to write off intolerant students as a generational blip, or a science§experiment gone wrong, they've been getting their ideas from somewhere. Bringing§together leading journalists, academics and agitators from the US and UK, Unsafe Space is a wake-up call. From the§war on lad culture to the clampdown on climate sceptics, we need to resist all attempts to curtail free speech on§campus. But society also needs to take a long, hard look at itself. Our§inability to stick up for our founding, liberal values, to insist that the free§exchange of ideas should always be a risky business, has eroded free speech§from within.
