Censored Books II: Critical Viewpoints, 1985-2000

by Nicholas J. Karolides

Book Overview

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. For librarians, teachers, and parents-and anyone concerned with intellectual freedom.
