Book Synopsis



Book bans are a topic that has taken the US by storm.

Book bans have occurred since writing began and ideas made their way onto paper. Books that cover controversial subjects such as religion, gender and sexuality, and political themes are the most banned books by some schools, libraries, and governments. However, many of these books are also classics and are considered important in learning new ideas and perspectives.

From 1984 to The Hate U Give, many popular books have been banned throughout history. Students, educators, and concerned citizens have fought to stop the censoring of these and many other titles so that their ideas and themes can be freely expressed. Learn about the long history of book bans, how they began, how they have continued, and how you can fight against them.

The accessible text and inclusion of historical images and sources demonstrate that book banning is not a new phenomenon. . .
