Modern Language Studies, the journal of the Northeast Modern Language Association, is seeking reviews for the summer 2025 issue. In recent years, the temperature has risen around free speech debates, and books on censorship and free speech come out with such frequency that it is hard to keep abreast of the new scholarship. I am interested in receiving reviews and review essays on academic books published in the last several years that are in some way related to free speech. The books to be reviewed can center on any historical, geographical, or disciplinary context, and the reviews and review essays can be written from (almost) any theoretical perspective.

Keywords: free speech, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, liberty of the press, censorship.
