Freedom of expression is enshrined in the Constitution as a sacred right of the American people. The appeal is clear: Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Yet the ink had barely dried on the Constitution before the first landmark freedom of expression issue exploded onto the scene. This student resource traces 11 such issues that have polarized the nation. These events show the variety, complexity, and intensity that freedom of speech and expression issues engender. Magee illustrates how the United States has worked through these contentious periods with American citizens' freedoms remaining intact, if not enhanced. An annotated bibliography follows each issue to provide avenues for further research, and a timeline and general bibliography provide additional reference support.

This book will list a number of classical novels and ask the reader to identify who the author is.

Why is Carl Jung dancing in the Streets of Death? Because one of his favorites among the living-artist James Magee, the creator of the colossal desert stonework, The Hill, and "the alleged" anima incarnate of the mysterious artist Annabel Livermore-has concocted this brew of poems and letters from the lands of Ordinary and Surreal. The poems flutter like butterflies from his imagination as he creates large steel assemblages. Weirdly, "Letters to Goya" are found pieces from 1955, from the rickety typewriter of the Duchess of Alba, who in (sur)real life is an old lady who wheel-chairs around the Waikiki Trailer Park in Sweetwater, Texas. Are the letters real? Well, yes. And no!Tonight a cold rain falls in Tucson.Under an overpass I see you standing stark-naked,Juan,headlights streaming by,you toweling off with a wing of a blue and yellow birdfound moments ago near a storm sewer,as if water were confessing of white tile,a room without walls, reallywhere earlier you had imagined yourself as a bearded ancient,a Mesopotamian Lord kneeling down in the wet grass near the freewayto sing to an open field.James Magee and his partner, actress Camilla Carr, live in El Paso, Texas, in the home of Annabel Livermore.Kerry Doyle is the Director and Curator of the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts (University of Texas at El Paso), and a widely published scholar and respected curator of Latin-American and United States/Mexico Border arts.

This book reveals ideas and concepts from beyond the grave that include insights, pleas and observations from its inhabitants. It reeks of gallows humor presented through tongue-in-cheek remarks. For the uninformed, gallows humor is grim and ironic humor in a desperate or hopeless situation.
