An Anthropology of Free Speech with Prof Matei Candea

The Charlie Hebdo attack divided Prof Matei Candea's friends. It also prompted him to embark on an anthropological study of free speech.

The result is "Reason, Carnival and Honour: An Anthropology of Free Speech", a book which explores the hidden assumptions behind free speech debates.

Professor Candea discusses his book with Dr Jan MacVarish, the Free Speech Union's director of national engagement.
