Book Banning

Editor Thomas Riggs has assembled some detail-driven essays to help readers analyze the book banning debate. Readers will examine the role of parental control, whether teens need better, bolder books, whether homophobia is at the root of many book-banning efforts, and the role that Librarians play in defending book selections.
