(From Gossip Girl to The Kite Runner a completely updated ...)
From Gossip Girl to The Kite Runner a completely updated look at the history of censorship in world literature. Praise for the previous editions: "A must-have for all of us who enjoy the right to choose what we read." Nadine Strossen, President, American Civil Liberties Union Throughout history, nations, peoples, and governments have censored writers and their works on political, religious, sexual, and social grounds. Although the literary merit of the majority of these books has been proven time and time again, censorship efforts are still in place today. From Animal Farm to The Grapes of Wrath, The Koran to The Talmud, Ulysses to the Harry Potter series, The Canterbury Tales to The Bell Jar, this revised edition examines the many struggles these books faced in order to be read. Tracing the censorship histories of 120 works from across the world, 120 Banned Books, Second Edition provides a summary of each work, its censorship history, and suggestions for further reading. Many new titles have been added to reflect some of the controversies in recent years, and updates have been made to existing entries on such classic books as Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird. New entries include: -The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie (banned on social grounds) -The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (banned on religious grounds) -Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea (banned on political grounds) -Gossip Girl series by Cecily von Ziegesar (banned on sexual grounds) -His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (banned on religious grounds) -The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (banned on social grounds) -and many more.

(Throughout history, tyrants, totalitarian states, church ...)
Throughout history, tyrants, totalitarian states, church institutions, and democratic governments alike have banned books that challenged their assumptions or questioned their activities. Political suppression also occurs in the name of security and the safeguarding of official secrets and is often used as a weapon in larger cultural or political battles. Literature Suppressed on Political Grounds, Third Edition illustrates the extent and frequency of such censorship in nearly every form of writing.

Here is a whole new set of rationales to be used in defending challenged books. Beautifully reasoned arguments support the teaching of books that are frequently challenged by would-be censors. Karolides has chosen a wide range of literature, from Faulkner's As I Lay Dying to the contemporary bestselling Harry Potter books. Some books are challenged in the name of political correctness; others because of concern over violent or sexual content. The rationale, some written by the authors themselves, examine the value of each work as literature, its content relative to societal values, and the always thorny issue of what material actually constitutes "suitable" reading for young people. For librarians, teachers, and parents―and anyone concerned with intellectual freedom.
