This is a book about banned books in the U.S. — about reading them, teaching them, and lending them under the shadow of political pressure not to.
Banning Books in America features novelists on banning and being banned, arguments about the histories and politics of book banning, readings of banned books in national and international contexts, and responses to new legislation by anti-censorship advocates, teachers, and librarians. Together, these writers and educators provide a view from the trenches of the wars on reading. They offer, if not a single blueprint, models for how to think about what it means to ban books and how to fight back against the forces that would ban them.
This book shows that at the heart of this issue is the question of what books mean to people. Some Americans are determined to decide which books other Americans shouldn’t get to read. Why these books? Why now? Anyone who seeks to answer these questions must examine the context, historical and current, in which Americans allow this to happen.
This is a book about book banning in America, and so it is a book about America.©2026 Samuel Cohen (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Reseñas de la crítica
By including so many perspectives, the volume gives a vitally expansive sense of what, exactly, we mean when we say ‘book ban.’
Essays vigorously advocating freedom of access and freedom from censorship in the realms of reading.
Banning Books in America could not be more timely. In a moment rife with politicians bullying school leaders directly or passing laws to facilitate educational censorship in schools, colleges, and universities, everyone who cares about American democracy should be thinking about what they can do to help. Luckily, this authoritative collection offers thoughtful, engaging guidance to do just that. This is a must-read for those who want to learn about book bans and to fight against this assault on democracy.
Banning books – the nowness of the problem – is at the core of the dilemma as we struggle to define, interpret, limit, and resist constraints on reading. Samuel Cohen brings together teachers, scholars, and writers themselves to help us understand, value, and protect what is increasingly at risk. Listen up, everybody. There’s work to do.
