Description:

Reasoned arguments support the teaching of books that are challenged by would-be censors. This work covers literature from the Harry Potter books to Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying". Some books are challenged in the name of political correctness, others over concern over violent or sexual content.

Synopsis:

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.
