Publisher's Note Since the first edition was published to acclaim and awards in 1994, librarians have relied on the work of noted intellectual freedom authority Herbert N. 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.
Industry Reviews Surveys eight major book-banning incidents from 1976 through 1992, examines the relevant laws, and profiles the authors and books most frequently banned. Of particular interest to librarians, but also to students of American culture or intellectual freedom. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Del Negro
