This
bibliographical list, as a part of Banned Books Week, is
from the
Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library
Association.
Banned
Books Week celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom
to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered
unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance
of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular
viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual
freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions
are met. As the Intellectual
Freedom Manual (ALA, 5th edition) states:
- “Freedom
to express oneself through a chosen mode of communication
becomes virtually meaningless if access to that information
is not protected.”
