简介：Throughout history, tyrants, totalitarian states, religious institutions, and democratic governments alike have suppressed, condemned, or banned books thought to challenge assumptions or question authority. Literature Suppressed on Social Grounds, Revised Edition profiles the censorship of works banned because they ignored or defied official truths or merely contained ideas or language unacceptable to a state, religion, or individual moral watchdog. New entries in this revised edition include the Captain Underpants series, by Dav Pilkey; Jake and Honeybunch Go to Heaven, by Margaret Zemach; and We All Fall Down, by Robert Cormier. Entries from the previous edition, such as To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, and Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, have been updated to include the most recent censorship actions by school boards, governments, and other organizations and people attempting to restrict the freedom to read. Other new or updated entries include: The Adventures of Huckleberrry Finn, by Mark Twain; The Basketball Diaries, by Jim Carroll; The Color Purple, by Alice Walker; The Drowning of Stephan Jones, by Bette Greene; The Giver, by Louis Lowry; Whale Talk, by Chris Crutcher; and many more. - Back cover.
