Research Directions: Book Challenges, Challenging Books, and Young Readers: The Research Picture
Christine A. Jenkins
Jenkins takes a broad look at censorship, including its history; the organizations, tactics, and goals supporting both sides of the issue; research on what factors lead people to complain about a book and how reading affects readers; resources available to those fighting censorship; and what levels of complaint and action a given case may need to work through. Ultimately, she asks, “Is it possible to ‘censor-proof’ a library or school?”
