This theme issue identifies the deep limitations and the violent 
consequences of the longstanding and constantly developing ‘free speech 
debates’ typical of so many contexts in the West, and explores the 
possibilities to combat racism when liberal values are ‘weaponized’ to 
target racialized communities. The collection thus examines the globally 
mediated politics of ‘free speech’ that has circulated since at least 
the debates on the publication of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses in 
1988, the Danish cartoons controversy of 2005 and more recently, the 
murders at Charlie Hebdo in Paris. What kind of everyday racially 
motivated speech is protected by narrow interpretations of liberal 
ideology? How do everyday forms of social expression that vilify and 
intimidate find shelter through an inflation of the notion of freedom of 
speech and a refusal of the idea that language can be a performative act 
from which harm can be derived? These questions are explored in 
transnational contexts with a particular focus on settler colonial 
Australia.
