Beyond the First Amendment: The Politics of Free Speech and Pluralism is a book about freedom of speech and the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, written by author Samuel Peter Nelson. It was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2005.^[1]^[2] In it, Nelson discusses how the more general notion of free speech differs from that specifically applied to the First Amendment in American law.

The book was positively received in reviews from academic and legal journals. Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries recommended the book due to its thought-provoking propositions,^[3] and a review in The Journal of Politics described it as "a nice effort to explore free speech issues not covered by the First Amendment or constitutional law".^[4] A review in the journal Political Communication concluded of the author's argumentation: "His is indeed a theory fraught with possibilities both favorable and unfavorable to an expanded scope for the contents of free speech".^[5] Law and Politics Book Review concluded "Beyond the First Amendment is an intriguing and important contribution to the literature on free speech".^[6]
