Freedom of Speech

Visual Essay

This book is a unique exploration of freedom of speech in China and the Western world, using typography and innovative visual design to convey its key themes and arguments. Through a comparative analysis of freedom of speech in these two regions, the book illustrates that what is considered acceptable to speak about and what is not are controlled to some extent in both societies. By challenging the stereotype that freedom of speech is unlimited in the Western world and nonexistent in China, and by filling a gap in the current literature on this topic, the book offers a new perspective on this important issue and encourages readers to think critically about the concept of freedom of speech in their own societies.
