Johan Op de Beeck De bedreigde vrijheid

uw vrije meningsuiting in gevaar?

De vrijheid van meningsuiting is dé basisgarantie van het samen-leven. Sinds de Verlichting leeft dit grondrecht in verstandhouding met die andere grondwettelijke vrijheid, de godsdienstvrijheid. Maar in onze land lijken we die verstandhouding nu kwijt te raken. Een samenleving bestaat niet als bevolkingsgroepen naast elkaar leven.

censura en Cuba

Este es un libro necesario por la singularidad de su análisis sobre la censura a las libertades expresivas impuesta en Cuba por el gobierno 'revolucionario' de Fidel Castro, desde el triunfo de la Revolución Cubana en 1959 hasta la hoy llamada 'Era Raulista', y por ofrecer un recorrido escalofriante a través de los más importantes sucesos de la represión cultural y la censura perpetradas por la más larga dictadura comunista del mundo.
