芝加哥七人案：被審判的思想自由

de 喬恩．維納（Jon Wiener）, 湯姆．海登（Tom Hayden）, 吉爾斯．菲佛（Jules Feiffer） ...

Traducido por 成曼曼 ...

一九六八年，反對越戰的聲浪在美國愈漸高漲；同年八月，適逢執政的民主黨即將召開全國代表大會，不同領域的社運團體打算趁此時機，號召上萬群眾在會場外示威抗議，向執政黨表達反戰的意志。然而，芝加哥市政府卻否決了他們的集會申請，最後更因為警方濫暴，導致和平示威演變為嚴重的流血衝突。八個月後，聯邦檢察官以「共謀」、「意圖跨越州界煽動暴亂」起訴八名示威領導人，準備向全美人民演出一場司法審判大秀，轉移社會焦點。但是被政府點名的青年們，並不打算乖乖就範。為了捍衛思想自由，也為了避免可能面臨的十年重罪，他們並肩站上法庭，對抗以司法為名，但實際上意圖箝制思想自由的檢調及法官，更將抗議從街頭帶到法庭，讓傲慢的當權者最後必須接受輿論及歷史的審判。本書由加州大學美國歷史教授喬恩．維納爬梳大量法庭紀錄，結合當事人湯姆．海登所寫後話，生動呈現了被告們在數月的漫長審理中，如何以辯證、嘲諷等方式表達反叛的思想 ...
