Banned
Books and Censorship
http://www.booksatoz.com/censorship/banned.htm
Every year, books in the U.S. and around the world are challenged.
Some
of the challenged books are banned, some aren't. The punishment
for
ignoring these bans range from almost nonexistent to severe. |
BANNED

Books
Banned in the United States
http://www.adlerbooks.com/banned.html
An all too common pastime in the United States is banning books.
Sad, frightening -- and far too frequent. Who bans books? Libraries,
schools, entire towns, and sometimes, in the past, the United States
government. |
Censored
http://www.georgesuttle.com/censorship/censors-all.shtml
A site with links to censorship resources, book censorship,
censorship in other media, free expression & U.S. law, the First
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the Freedom of Information Act,
selected court decisions, print resources, and an archive of censorship
cases. |
Censored:
Wielding the Red Pen
http://www.lib.virginia.edu/speccol/exhibits/censored/
Books, films, music, and works of art have been suppressed, altered,
expurgated, bleeped, blackened, cut, burned, or bowdlerized. Writers
and artists have been imprisoned, fined, fired, or silenced. Wearing
many masks, censorship has appeared in our living rooms under the
names "national security, “classification," and "selective inclusion."
This is a very dramatic web site. |
