    Banned Books History & Overview – #banned

    The History of Banned Books

    A book may be considered a banned book if the work has been banned in the past. We still discuss these books and the censorship surrounding them not only because it gives us insight into the time in which the book was banned, but it also gives us some perspective on books that are banned and challenged today.

    Many of the books that we consider rather “tame” today were once hotly debated works of literature. Then, of course, books that were once popular bestsellers are sometimes challenged or banned in classrooms or libraries because the cultural view point and/or language that was accepted at the time of the books publication is no longer deemed appropriate to read. Time has a way of changing our perspective on literature.

    Why Discuss Banned Books?

    Of course, just because a book has been banned or challenged in some parts of the United States doesn’t mean it has happened where you live. You may be one of the fortunate few who has never experienced banning. That’s why it’s so important for us to discuss the reality of banned books.

    It’s important to know about the cases that are happening in other parts of the United States, and it’s important to be aware of the cases of book banning and censorship that are taking place around the world. Amnesty International directs attention to just a few writers from China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, and Saudi Arabia, who have been persecuted for their writings.
