Banned Books - Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds 2nd Edition 2006 PDF eBook

by Margaret Bald

Previously published in 1989, these four volumes provide a survey of more than 400 titles
that have been subjected to censorship by school boards, governments, religious institutions,
and other bodies. Within each volume, titles are arranged alphabetically, and entries include
brief publishing information, a summary of the book's content, a censorship history, and
a short list of further reading. Some 50 entries are new. The political volume has added 10
entries, among them Ha Jin's 1999 novel Waiting, denounced in China for portraying Chinese
people as backward; the Chinese publication was canceled. The volume on religious grounds
now has entries for five Harry Potter books. Fourteen entries, including one for Sari Says,
an advice book for teens, have been added to the sexual grounds volume. Another 14 entries
have been added to the social grounds volume, among them Marion Dane Bauer's Am I Blue? and
Francesca Lia Block's Baby Be-Bop. Each volume in the set concludes with short author profiles,
a bibliography, and a list of books discussed in the other volumes.-- Mary Ellen Quinn
