Finally, an analysis of the writing of Beatrice Culleton and Marlene Nourbese Philip shows how different kinds of socio-cultural censorship - from gate-keepers to self-censorship - silence Native and black Canadian voices. Cohen's re-definition of censorship as essentially a practice of judgment takes us beyond the traditional Enlightenment delineation of censorship as an oppressive government practice and the consequent neutralist liberal condemnation of censorship on principle. Since judgment is enmeshed in the fabric of human endeavour, censorship is inevitable; since censorship is inevitable, Cohen concludes, debate over whether censorship itself is desirable should give way to a search for censorship practices that are more just. Censorship in Canadian Literature is an essential text for scholars of Canadian literature as well as for anyone concerned with contemporary debates about censorship and civil rights. 606 $aCanadian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCensorship in literature 606 $aCensorship$zCanada 615 0$aCanadian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCensorship in literature. 615 0$aCensorship 676 $aC813/.5409 700 $aCohen$b Mark$f1966-$01600642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808975803321 996 $aCensorship in Canadian literature$93923825 997 $aUNINA
