“Fear, Censorship, and Self-Censorship: Lessons from the Danish
Cartoon Episode”
Jytte Klausen (Brandeis University)
Professor Jytte Klausen is the Lawrence A. Wien Professor of International Cooperation at Brandeis
University and an Affiliate at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. She is the author of
War and Welfare: Europe and the United States, 1945 to the Present (Palgrave, 2001) and The Islamic Challenge:
Politics and Religion in Western Europe (OUP, 2005). In 2007 Professor Klausen received the Carnegie
Scholars Award for her work on Muslims in Europe. Her most recent book, The Cartoons That Shook the
World (Yale UP, 2009), considers the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and the worldwide
protests that followed their publication in 2005. When Yale University Press reneged on its commitment
to publish the illustrations of this book shortly before sending it to print, the work itself became a source
of controversy concerning free speech, the politics of illustration, and censorship.
