The Impacts of Censorship, Volume 2

In today's political reality, classrooms have become the sites of censorship and attacks on students' right to read. The Impacts of Censorship, Volume 2 offers research that centers teachers working in a climate of book challenges and bans, censorship, restrictive legislation, angry parents, and ideologues. This volume presents a wide range of educational contexts for the study of censorship. It also features interviews with nine National Council of Teachers of English Intellectual Freedom Award winners, including authors Laurie Halse Anderson and Nic Stone.

Readers of this volume will gain a deeper understanding of teachers' perspectives and will learn strategies for teaching diverse texts in the current climate and for advocating to keep diverse books in students' hands.
