Foerstel. This expanded edition presents a thorough analysis of the current state of book banning in schools and public libraries, offering ready reference material on major incidents, legal cases, and annotated entries on the most frequently challenged books. Every section of this work has been significantly rewritten, updated, or expanded to reflect those developments. In-depth accounts of three new landmark book banning incidents are featured, along with a discussion of recent Supreme Court decisions involving censorship on the Internet and in book publishing, and a consideration of their implications for book banning in schools and public libraries.Two new interviews with authors of banned books--David Guterson and Leslea Newman--join the interviews with authors profiled in the first edition, many of which have been updated. The heart of the book is a Survey of Banned Books, revised with annotated entries on the 50 most frequently challenged books for 1996 through 2000; the Harry Potter series tops the list. Finally, all new appendixes feature an updated ALA list of Most Frequently Challenged Books and Authors Through 2000 and graphs that help to clarify key information.Banned in the USABanned in the United States of AmericaCensorshipUnited StatesTextbooksCensorshipUnited StatesPublic librariesCensorshipUnited StatesPublic schoolsCensorshipUnited StatesBook selectionUnited StatesPublic librariesBook selectionUnited StatesCensorshipTextbooksCensorshipPublic librariesCensorshipPublic schoolsCensorshipBook selectionPublic librariesBook selection025.2/13Foerstel Herbert N1515588DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910970272203321Banned in the U.S.A4341168UNINA
