Abstract

This paper examines the recent media attack on a speech by Canadian feminist Sunera Thobani, revealing the media's participation in the consolidation of the post-September 11 "national security" discourse. After analyzing the critical mainstream "freedom of speech" discourse, the paper provides an anti-racist feminist reading and reflects on current feminist organizing strategies.
