From Library Journal
Scheduled for publication during Banned Books Week (September 25, 1999-October 2, 1999), this reference gives extensive insight into titles that historically have faced a high rate of censorship, both in the United States and abroad. The text is arranged in four sections, with titles divided by the main groundsApolitical, religious, sexual, and socialAfor censorship. Introductory notes for each section define what the book's authors mean by that type of suppression and summarize its history. Each title is identified by author, date and place of original publication, publisher, and literary form, and each entry includes a comprehensive summary of the text. These summaries are followed by a full censorship history and suggested "Further Readings" sections directing readers to accessible sources of additional information. By limiting the texts under consideration to 100, the authors are able to provide highly detailed accounts of each title's censorship history in what is surely the most exhaustive single-volume reference available. A valuable tool for those seeking information on particular banned books or on censorship in general; recommended for public and academic libraries.

100 Banned Books is essential reading for anyone concerned about censorship and freedom of expression. The amount of research that Karolides, Bald and Sova have compiled is remarkably thorough. A fairly brief but highly illuminating summary is provided for each listed "objectionable" work, and the list is divided into four different categories of grounds for suppression: political, religious, sexual, and social. The reader is given insight into the mentality of the self-appointed dictators of public knowledge and cultural taste. Fear and ignorance; political and religious intolerance; outright bigotry. It is such un-enlightened mentalities, we discover, that at one time led to the suppression of such great books as The Bible, "All Quiet On The Western Front", "The Rights of Man", "Lady Chatterly's Lover", "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", "Leaves Of Grass", "Anne Frank: The Diary Of A Young Girl","Black Boy", "The Canterbury Tales" just to name a few. Ultimately, this book cultivates an appreciation for the freedom to express and exhange ideas, however controversial or unpopular some of those views might be. It also arms the reader with a vigilance to defend that freedom should they find it challenged by a political authority, religious institution, school board or a group of zealots. 100 Banned Books is destined to become a classic!

Karolides, Bald and Sova have produced one of the most informative books regarding censorship. The format of their chapters is clear and concise. They separated the various sections on "Literature Suppressed" into four parts: "Political," "Religious," "Sexual" and "Social". After a brief summary of the book in question, they provide a history of the text's censorship, and a list of further readings.
If there is an interesting and informative reference book on censorship that you want to add to your shelf, I would highly recommend this one.

I would like to say that it is pretty petty to argue over a review and how it was written... but that is not why I'm writting this. I want to know why everyone assumes that the writer of the original review was foregin when they could be a. just a bad speller or b. younger than you all originally assumed. My fourteen year old sister knows many large words but isn't a great speller. My 21 year old fiance is excellent at writing but can't spell to save his life. Do you see my point. (Kudos to those who defended the review, though)

Why "bans" occur
The banning or prohibition of books results from the need to keep information from the masses that is deemed improper or unsafe for that society's usage. Lesen Sie weiter...
