In Gag Rule, Lapham argues that in the midst of this country’s “War on Terror”; we face a crisis of democracy as serious as any in our history—the right to speak out against the powers that be, and to have our voices heard. This, asserts Lapham—marks not only the end of true, meaningful dissent but the renunciation of our most important civil liberty: the freedom to disagree. Gag Rule is a rousing call to action from one of America’s most provocative writers.
