I contenuti

This original and provocative book looks at an important constitutional freedom that today is largely forgotten: the right of assembly. While this right lay at the heart of some of the most important social movements in American history - abolitionism, women's suffrage, the labour and civil rights movements - courts now prefer to speak about the freedoms of association and speech. But the right of 'expressive association' undermines protections for groups whose purposes are demonstrable not by speech or expression but through ways of being. John D. Inazu demonstrates that the forgetting of assembly and the embrace of association loses sight of important dimensions of our constitutional tradition.

The First Amendment's guarantee of the right of the people peaceably to assemble is the neglected stepchild of modern constitutional law. John Inazu's Liberty's Refuge breathes new life into the clause. His careful historical and analytical reading of the clause explains it as a core component of the constitutional protections available to all individuals --Richard Epstein, Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration, and the Rule of Law
