> "Shiffrin has provided readers with a challenging work that is well worth
> the reading and, in the opinion of this reviewer, well worth doing. This
> well-documented book is written in an engaging style with its theme and
> major points lucidly displayed. Very noteworthy is the author's
> penetrating
> analysis of Supreme Court cases." <The Law and Politics Book Review
> 
> Americans should not just tolerate dissent. They should encourage it. In
> this provocative and wide-ranging book, Steven Shiffrin makes this case by
> arguing that dissent should be promoted because it lies at the heart of a
> core American value: free speech. He contends, however, that the country¹s
> major institutions<including the Supreme Court and the mass media<wrongly
> limit dissent. And he reflects on how society and the law should change to
> encourage nonconformity.
