| Opplysninger | During much of the military regime in Brazil (1964-1985), an elaborate but illegal system of restrictions prevented the press from covering important news or criticizing the government. In this intriguing new book, Anne-Marie Smith investigates why the press acquiesced to this system, and why this state-administered system of restrictions was known as "self-censorship.". - Smith argues that it was routine, rather than fear, that kept the lid on Brazil's press. The banality of state censorship - a mundane, encompassing set of automatically repeated procedures that functioned much like any other state bureaucracy - seemed impossible to circumvent. While the press did not consider the censorship legitimate, they were never able to develop the resources to overcome censorship's burdensome routines.
